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]

Soooo because a fraction of parents are doing the homework and denying the children the opportunity to learn, you kick that up a notch and deny ALL the students the opportunity to learn?

If i pulled that sort of nonsense at my job I would be let go.[/quote]

Homework isn't really productive in ES. It can be used as a supplement to review things taught.[/quote]
