Ontario, Canada Launches Online Homework Help
The Ministry of Education in Ontario, Canada has recently launched a a
very interesting system in which students can seek homework help online.
The program is specifically designed for grade 7 to 10 math students
and users can log into the website (https://homeworkhelp.ilc.org/secure/login.php)
where they can chat with the online tutors who are available form
5:30pm to 9:30pm from Sunday through Thrusday.
I find the concept of online tutor chats quite intriguing. I think students might
be more likely to make use of this type of homework since many are
already on their computers during this time and do not need to leave the
comfort of their own homes to seek extra help.
Have any other school districts implemented a similar system? Is this something you
would consider for your won school?

"The depth of your observations from last night is still resonating with me. I'm trying to think of another interview I've given where the questioner understood the material so well that he/she so regularly (and fluidly) went into new intellectual territory. I can't think of any. Pretty amazing. Thank you."
