You and your parents are a prime example of this.

As a teacher I can tell you the true problem in education is motivation. Most people just don't care, don't have parents who care or don't have friends who care enough to make them get into their learning. This really only works with motivated students, as do MOST forms of education. Why? Because they want to learn in the first place and will do so even if they have the worst teachers.
Great idea, as are most educational ones, but the problem then becomes that when unsupervised people tend to do what they like and want to, not what they should.

This.
Also it builds up a kids confidence when he independently sought after help when he knew he had a problem and starts to progressively understand material in which he never thought possible in the classroom.
Khan starts from a basic foundation to more difficult ideas/problems. All the while kids can understand the material at their own pace without having the pitfalls of a classroom where if they don't understand something in the first 5 minutes of class they will just give up at the 10 minute mark out of confusion.
For instance I was tutoring a 1st year undergrad, her course was on the chapter of complex polynomials while she barely knew how to FOIL. I told her to watch some Khan videos and her understanding of college algebra improved 10 fold because she was able to touch up on the roadblocks that stopped her from progressing in previous lectures.
