    What do ye think of the use of paid online resources for kids in secondary school? Esp leaving cert? For or against? I see some charge 100 euro a year membership and others 30 euro a month.

    Do alot of parents encourage it for their kids or do they even know its there at all?

    The only one I am aware of is the now defunct Eircom Studyhub which was rubbish imo. I've never felt my daughter needed extra help but if she did my first port of call would be grinds rather than a website.
