HomeworkKansas Gets Good Grade
by Marc Galbraith, Deputy State Librarian
If it were up to the students, you’d have to give HomeworkKansas an “A.”
During the first twenty days of the service, Kansas school kids logged 1,654 sessions. Those are pretty impressive numbers for a brand new program, but even more impressive is what those same students have had to say about HomeworkKansas. Responding to an exit survey students were given a chance to say whatever they liked about the tutoring service. Here are a few very representative quotes from those students:
I was going to blow this assignment off and not do it, but the tutor helped me find info, and pass with an A!!! Thanks
YOU GUYS ARE SOOOOOOOOOOO HELPFUL!!!
The help was great. It was explained in a way that I could understand. Thanks Mr. Jeremy B.!
This website rocks! I thought that I’d never be able to finish this
Awesome!
This is the coolest thing!
I've never had so much explanation and patience. Thanks again
My tutor and session were very helpful in this regard.
Moms will love it !!!!!
Scott was an excellent teacher
That was a very great session!~!
I loved this and it really helps. I am hoping I can still use it when I have my baby in 4 weeks!! I would recommend this to anyone with kids that need help and the parents don't know what they are doing.
very good:)
My tutor was great!! I love this site.

Governor Kathleen Sebelius joined the event in Topeka and she talked about how she took her responsibility as a parent very seriously. She also said she wished there had been something like HomeworkKansas when her kids were younger. The Governor jumped right in and helped 4th graders from Lowman Hill Elementary School as new users of HomeworkKansas.
Use data from the first few weeks of HomeworkKansas service also show that students are going to HomeworkKansas from all regions of the state. The State Library staff is currently working with Tutor.com on the formatting and distribution of HomeworkKansas usage reports.
