Our school used EPGY as an extension to the regular curriculum until last year. I don't know if they have upgraded it but my kids hated EPGY. Graphically, it's boring, the droning old guy drove them crazy and it didn't let them move faster when they knew something. A teacher could bump up the level if stuff was too easy but the program did not accelerate them automatically. This was inconvenient since my kids did the program at home. Worse yet, it seems to have turned them off to online instruction. This year the school switched to ALEKS. They have been reluctant to give ALEKS a try. Since it is optional, I haven't pushed it. They seem to like doing "fun math" on mathplayground.com but that's not instructional. I'd love to get the school to look at Alcumus but they just bought into ALEKS. (Sigh).
