To paraphrase:
Who would you like to teach your kids?
[ ]An expert.
[ ]Some random guy on the internet.
Since the original topic addresses a 6 y.o. and I was responding with my personal experience regarding my 6 y.o. I think that Khan Academy is a fine, free resource to introduce topics to kids. I especially like that it isn't just exercises, but also instruction. And so far, through 4th grade math, it has been quite helpful.
I don't necessarily have "experts" at my disposal, but as my son progresses, I hope to find better access to more knowledgeable people. Part of the reason we decided to home school is that public school teachers are rarely experts in the various fields they are asked to teach. For now, I find it useful to have introductions to topics to suss out his interests. Then we can find the resources for the deeper dives.
I'm curious about EPGY since they don't offer a demo or free-trial (that I can find). Other than it being a bit dry, does the material seem thorough and well-plotted? Are there better, more rigorous resources out there for history and other topics?
