It’s an online resource for parents of K-12 students. It includes free access to over 30+ hours a week of live online classes ranging from core curriculum subjects to enrichment classes like “the Science Behind Pandemics” — which is taught by a Professor of Health Studies from Johns Hopkins. The resource also includes skills assessments for students, access to practice problems and tests, and helpful tips for parents. And of course, it’s available completely free of charge.
What was kind of crazy was how many resources we already had available that we knew could help parents during this time. We had access to top experts, live online classes functionality, and a library of virtual resources for students. We also recently launched a new adaptive assessment tool for all Math subjects K-12 that helps parents identify potential areas of focus and specific concepts for their kids to work on.
All well and good except kids need.. and want ... face to face, physical social interaction with their peers in the same space. Not through an effing screen. K-12 School is as much about socialization as it is about academics. Online will never accomplish that.
