What academics have to say about studying at home to complement schoolwork . . .

Educators and academics around the country, and the world, agree that home study is a vital component in the success of school students. Here's what some of them have to say about home study and the role of parents.

"I have had access and previewed and have worked with many math teaching/learning software packages. Your software is, by far, superior to all I have ever used. I would recommend this software to all teachers across the continent who want the best for their math students, who want to reach even the most math phobic child on campus and who believe all children can learn mathematics.
I thank you."
Dr Lorraine R Maneen
Director- Secondary Mathematics
Spring - ISD

"When parents involve themselves in schooling regularly it reinforces the view in the child's mind that school and home are connected, and that learning and application are an integral part of family life."
Professor Laurence Steinberg,
Temple University, Philadelphia USA
(from his 10 year study into the performance of 20,000 high school students)

"If children have a home study plan and their parents are involved in it that child is much more likely to progress well in school."
Harry Webb
Retired Head of Mathematics
Fort Street High School (Sydney)

"It is undoubtedly an almost impossible task to properly provide for 30 (plus) students in a classroom, given the programming, lesson participation, marking, assessing, reporting and student welfare requirements that are part of a teacher's daily working life. This is particularly true in infants and primary classes."
