Would you buy educational courses for your kid?

Question

Hi HN, I have an idea regarding educational courses over the computer for kids and wanted to check if it's really a problem, would you personally buy those for your kid? (Assuming quality is sufficient) and how much money would you invest in a year?

Probably not, unless I was home schooling, or if there was a topic my child had a high degree of interest in that either wasn&rsquo;t being covered in school or wasn&rsquo;t being deeply covered. Or a area that they are struggling in.A lot of kids don&rsquo;t enjoy course work, getting them to do more (unless they showed a high interest in it), is probably not a battle most parents are going to want, let alone pay extra for. Of course we all want resources if our kids are struggling with a subject.

Depends on what the course is and the content. Is it just a video? Then, no. Is it self-paced? No, he's not going to progress on his own.
