[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I despise Prodigy, it's truly one of the worst softawares thrown at our children with zero learning at best, and detrimental effects on attention at the worst.[/quote] I agree. I would just add that we shouldn't lump all learning apps into one category. I despise Prodigy because it promotes violence, and the kids spend more time gaming than playing math. But, there are learning apps that in small doses have been hugely beneficial for my kids - for math, Beast Academy. No violence, and 95% of the time on that site, they are watching a math video or doing math problems. That said, I'd rather do BA at home and have them off screens at school. [/quote]
