On-Line Homework Help Provided


Rainy River District School Board's intermediate students have access to math teachers across the province to assist them with their homework.

It's part of a pilot project called the Homework Help Initiative.

Spokesperson Denise Rybuck says it's one more mechanism to help students.

"If a student arrives at a point where they're not understanding something," says Rybuck, "or run into a question that they need some assistance with they can go on-line and be able to ask that question and get support from a certified teacher somewhere in the province of Ontario."

A separate educational resource bank has also been established that offers resources on a wide range of other subjects.
