Even as a debate takes place across the country about homework and its worthiness, the fact remains that there's still a lot that the kids are going to be bringing home starting this week. And that means a lot of parents are going to be sweating as they try to grasp the complicated topics that kids of all ages seem to be studying these days.

The Internet is a good place to go, of course, and I wanted to give you a couple of useful sites to start your search. Keep in mind that these are only meant to be STARTING points, and once you explore them, you will find ones you will stick to. If you find others you like, let me know.

See my suggestions for more kids sites as well as sites for getting kids ready for school.

And here are my recommendations of educational software.
