What parents need to know

Parents need to know that there's nothing but valuable (OK, sometimes not really "valuable" as much as very cool: Do you know why curveballs curve?) information for students of all ages on this well-organized education portal. Most of the links will take kids off the site, but where they land is harmless and educational. Minimal text-only ads are usually related to the topic you've clicked on. It's just unfortunate that they look so much like the other legit content links on the site.

Educational value: Kids will learn something on every part of this site.
Positive messages: Not applicable.
Violence: Not applicable.
Sex: Not applicable.
Language: Not applicable.
Consumerism: Google ads that look like the site's content links appear on every page, but they aren't obtrusive.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking: Not applicable.

What to talk about

Talk to your kids
Families can talk about why it's often better to go to a trusted site like HomeworkSpot than to Google to find the best age-appropriate, reliable information. What are the benefits of having search engines and sites designed just for kids? What are safe sites to browse? How can you tell which sites you can trust?

Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 
Many online homework hubs have tons of valuable information, but everything is so buried that kids never find what they're looking for, making the point of a site like this completely null and void. HomeworkSpot.com, on the other hand, has distinct age and subject categories are clearly divided so kids can go right to the subject they're interested in. And, with the many downloadable printouts, kids are encouraged to give their eyes a break and take their lessons off-screen. Now who said learning couldn't be fun?
