In today’s world, the internet plays an important role in all aspects of life be it in business, telecommunications and most especially with education. If the Federal Communications Commission chooses to repeal net neutrality regulations, then it is probably that the most that could be affected by it are the internet access of all schools across the country.

The ability of schools to continue educating students via the high-speed internet. What about online college courses via high-speed internet?

Most schools get educational resources from the internet for free but if the access to the internet will be repealed then the broadband companies like Comcast, AT&T, and Verizon can charge their customers who want to access online.

Key takeaways

  1. The Federal Communications Commission is expected to repeal net neutrality regulations on Thursday.
  2. Teachers use the internet to get access to a huge range of high-quality resources like videos of science concepts and more.
  3. Schools are at risk if carriers can prioritize paid content over freely available content.

Get your free personalized learning roadmap

You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.

  • Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
  • Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
  • You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
  • Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly

Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.

Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.

Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.

A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
