What Parents Need to Know
This review of BJ Pinchbeck's Homework Helper was written by Dana Cotter
Parents need to know that although this homework hub is managed by a 17-year-old boy (and his dad), it's wise beyond its years. The Discovery Channel teamed up with BJ Pinchbeck to offer only kid-appropriate organized links to educational resources ("English" takes you to authors, grammar lessons, and quotations, for example), so parents don't need to worry when their kid is taken off the site. There's an ad slot for other Discovery Channel sites and their store, and one for a subscription-based homework aid ($9.95/month).

What’s the Story?
BJ Pinchbeck's homework help is on the way! Finding information about any subject -- from algebra to the history of DNA -- is easy. Where content is clearly organized by subject areas (including recess, reference, and search engines), subcategories give you more direction and link to the best resources on the Web. Most importantly, if you can't find information on the subject you're looking for, it'll be clear in minutes and you can move on. Or, you can email BJ with suggestions of missing resources.
