Good book on education

The One World School House: Education Reimagined
by  Salman Khan

This book written by the founder of Khan Academy. This book contains 4 parts apart from the Introduction
Learning to Teach
The Broken Model
Into the Real World
The One Around Schoolhouse

Each part is independent and connect to the whole book.
I enjoyed reading and suggest this book to every one who is interested in education. My reasons to do so:
This books is easy and quick read and thought provoking.
This books though is not new in suggesting various aspects of education perse rather is a reminder in what most of us know
This book talks about various aspects like - learning, teaching, home work various models of teaching and the need of compartmentalization of subjects and lecturing methods etc.
Then the author talks about his experience in setting up Khan Academy

Very interesting book to read.
