This fall, the start of the new school year seemingly brought with it a trend of teachers forgoing homework assignments in order to allow their students more time outside of school for family and play.

Sal Khan, founder of Khan Academy, on the importance of supplementary education and how to strengthen school based learning.

TeachKin can help you bring mastery based learning to your kids, in an environment they trust: your home.
