Do you have a sticky problem in a subject that neither you nor your child can figure out but really need to? Now? Check first with your curriculum publisher (Apologia is super to work with). But if the curriculum publisher offers no help, there are a number of homework help sites, some free, some for pay. We've not used any of the for pay sites, but they might have been nice once or twice in a desperate moment especially for the high school years.

The Beehive This site, after you scroll pass the public school helps, has a Homework Help Bar. Click into the appropriate grade level (Elementary, Middle School, or High School) and a menu of subjects appears. Choose your subject, and a long list of helpful sites appears. These are mostly supplemental support sites rather than "ask a question/get an answer" sites...but there's a LOT there and geared towards free information rather than for pay (which can save the cost of supplemental books like "...For Dummies" and "Cliff" books). Some sites listed, such as a favorite of ours, Dr. Math, allow you to post a question and get an answer, for free (albeit not responded to immediately).
