For parents

It is screen time. Here is what kind.

If you worry there is already too much technology in school, that is a reasonable worry and we are not going to argue you out of it. What we can do is show you exactly what your child does when their teacher uses QuantAim, so you can judge it for yourself.

Doing, not scrolling

The difference between screen time that teaches and screen time that doesn't is mostly whether the student has to think and answer. Every part of QuantAim asks them to.

Short lessons with a stopping point

Most lessons are a five to ten minute read, and each one ends. There is no endless feed, no autoplay and nothing designed to keep a student on the page after the work is done.

Questions all the way through

Students predict an answer before reading, answer checks as they go, and take a short quiz at the end. A wrong answer shows why that option was tempting, not just that it was wrong.

Decisions with a reason

In the portfolio simulator, a trade is not accepted until the student writes why they are making it. The reasoning is what gets looked at. The money is imaginary; no real money or account is ever involved.

The teacher decides

Your child's teacher chooses what is assigned and when, and marks written work. Automated feedback on practice is labelled as practice, and the teacher's mark always replaces it.

No advertising

There are no ads anywhere on QuantAim, and nothing is recommended to your child for any reason other than their coursework.

One reminder, easy to stop

A student on a learning streak may get one reminder email in the afternoon before it would end. Every one of those emails has a link that turns them off with a single click.

What you can see

Your child can generate a parent access code from their own account and give it to you. With it you can follow their progress without logging in as them. Ask them to open Parent link in their student account.

What data is held

Exactly what is collected about a student, who else processes it, how long it is kept and how to have it deleted is written out in plain English on one page, so it is not paraphrased here.
