REVIEW:
About School.com is a rich resource for parents, teachers and students.
Students can get grade appropriate homework help on virtually any
subject area from preschool to high school. Included in the grade
level links are Ask the Professor where students can get help on
specific questions and the Quick Reference that offers links to
a dictionary, thesaurus, calculator, news links, and mega-search
tool. Parents of young children will want to check out the online
books to read with their children. Articles on topics of interest
to parents such as “Insights into Motherhood”, and links
to other parenting resources are available in the parent section.
Home schooling parents will find links to a wealth of information
and resources. Teachers will find information on professional organizations,
their state’s education resources, locating a job and more.
