I'm checking out Educator.com and it is a godsend for my son struggling in school. I studied engineering way back when and their Chemistry and Calculus AB/BC courses are top-notch from what I remember. Algebra I/II are not too shabby either. I like your point on how Educator needs to improve with more exercises. 4-5 examples is good for the maths but students need more! I hope they are building a playlist function too. I can see how without it a lot of users will get frustrated. My son is re-taking Algebra II this summer and I just bought him the subscription after we went through the free examples together. Despite the shortcomings I said above, I'm sold. Thanks, Ismael. -Dan I just stumbled onto your blog and I’m so glad you wrote this post.
