Hi! Thanks for your post - I hear you, and understand how the regional personalization can be restrictive for independent study (arguably even for those within a school curriculum but wanting to explore beyond)

Khan Academy seems to have built this feature to make it straightforward for classroom users to quickly access relevant curriculum-aligned courses. But surely a global platform would benefit from the option to more directly access other courses - apart from searching, clicking over to Domain pages ("Math" header within a given Maharashtra course for instance), or directly visiting bookmarked URLs.

Now, adding ALL courses onto the menu would perhaps not meet classroom needs, but enabling out-of-region courses for all users in the My Courses and Class courses options would certainly be helpful.

I'd imagine that the regional courses can be listed first, followed by "All Math", "All Science", etc sections that contain AP, Texas, and other such courses.

Surely there are global courses that matter to learners worldwide — Internet Safety, SAT Prep, World History — and significant portions of US Constitution 101 and US Government cover core texts in the history of political thought, from Aristotle through the European Enlightenment and beyond.
