As any who read even a fraction of my posts, one of the Big Exclamation Marks! of someone at my stage of life is that we have a wonderful child, now 4 1/2. As Jenny is trained (Master's from NYU) in elementary education, we long since had been well ready for homeschooling in remote Alaska were we ever to have offspring....
pre-Covid, et cetera.
I, not surprisingly, am the one charged with science, math and engineering. And, while Gus has gloried in the real-life examples we have created in, for example, the mechanical advantages of pulley systems, and working with the Jenny-approved & -mandated number blocks, and so forth,
I have at the same time found myself beguiled by the internet-swamped adverts for the mathematical "courses" presented by brilliantDOTorg.
Has anyone first-hand experience with this for-profit operation? Does its full curriculum match the teasers they show in their ads? Is it a slippery slope from their free trial into a spendy? very spendy? byzantine? cost structure? How would you rate it against the varied lectures that Khan Academy offers?
You may thank me for not posting this in the Big thread....., but I'm going to place a breadcrumb in it now.
