A large number of parents won't keep their end of the bargain, and most kids will do everything they can to avoid watching the videos. -A large number of parents are already not keeping their ends of the bargain and the result is that their children usurp all of the classroom time. Perhaps with Khan, the school can have a leg to stand on when saying "You suck as parents" to them. Your child has only logged in to study/learn 3 hours this week. What's up? I see it as a way to hold delinquent parents accountable and perhaps change their behaviors. CPS might have a proactive role to play here too.
