I don't think they are being cheap or lazy.

I think that they are supporting people like me, that do not want to find holes, or hack the system for meaningless points. They want to provide world-class education to everyone, everywhere.

If they had the option of:


 * 1) Making additional security measures to ensure people could not read answers to tutorials
 * 2) Refining and expanding the tutorials to help users (like me) to learn.

I hope they choose option 2 every single time, absolutely no exceptions.

Rather than waste money on a handful of people who completely miss the point of a free world-class education, I hope that Khan Academy continues to expand the World of Math, make a World of Physics, create more meaningful question in the World of Art History, etc.

People who exploit the systems are not necessarily bad or anything, there are no real rules for this. They are just not people I would choose to hang out with in the real world. I like people who are like me, want to learn. Other people can do what they want, but I really hope that Khan Academy doesn't choose to cater to a minority, and that they continue to provide and expand this wonderful service for people who use it the way it is intended. I am one of these, and I think we are the majority.

That's my two cents on the topic anyway.

Take care everyone!
