Academic support for students. Teacher is wondering if it is approved but I was unable to find it so I am submitting it for review to see if it fits with our criteria. Just a note: I marked "NO" down below for sharing student data. I want to make clear that I don't know if the website shares student or not but I had to chose one.

For English, most of the activities that I viewed used a voice with a heavy English accent, even on phonics activities. This is not helpful to students learning phonics, and may actually be detrimental. For math on the surface, it looks like there is a connection between standards, however, the questions focus on fluency and memorization not on understanding. For science, it does not follow the new standards, or grade levels and questions are recall questions from a short text, that do not aid in science understanding.
