Have you heard of Kahn Academy? It's really great.[/quote]

It's Khan Academy, actually. Also, if you think that Khan Academy is functionally equivalent to school, then I really don't know what to say.[/quote]

Actually, it's better.  If the student misses a question it asks them to keep trying and points them to extra help. 
Far more than public school teachers do today.
Did you know teachers don't grade individual homework? They stand in front of the class, tell the correct answers and its up to your child to grade their own work.

We don't grade homework in ES because we don't know WHO did the homework.  I wouldn't give homework to my students other than to study basic facts and read if I had my choice.  I do give a lot of feedback on assignments done in class. Those help me better understand my students' individual needs. [/quote]
I get a lot of homework that's done in perfect cursive. My students don't know cursive-I self contained teach special education and many struggle to write letters even in isolation. But sure! The child did it. I give everyone who attempts the homework a 100 for completion because I'm not going to give one child a B or a C for working hard, independently, and one child an A because their mother has mastered double digit addition.[/quote]
