The Homework Site is an independent resource about homework and study in the age of AI. The domain has pointed at classroom tools since 2000; today it’s a small, editorially independent publication for teachers, parents, and students navigating what AI means for real learning.
What we believe
Our one rule: we’re here to help people learn, not to help them skip the work. AI can be a genuinely good study partner — for explaining a hard idea, checking reasoning, or drilling practice questions. It can also be a shortcut that quietly replaces the thinking school is supposed to build. We try, on every page, to tell those two apart.
How we review tools
When we cover an AI tool, we start with what its makers actually document — the features they claim, the prices they charge, the limits they admit to in the fine print. We set that against independent, published research and testing wherever it exists, and against the way the tool is really used in classrooms. The job on every page is to tell you what a tool claims, what the evidence shows, and where those two things diverge.
We don’t dress up marketing as testing. Where a page rests on a number — a false-positive rate, a price, an accuracy claim — the source is named and linked at the bottom, so you can check it yourself. When we haven’t verified something first-hand, we say so plainly rather than implying otherwise.
On AI and honesty
Who writes this
Articles are edited by Dana Whitfield, an education-technology editor who has spent more than a decade around school technology, based in New Jersey. We’re a small team and we welcome corrections — if we get something wrong, we fix it in place and note the change rather than quietly deleting it.
Affiliate links
Some links to tools may be affiliate links, which means we might earn a small commission if you subscribe. This never changes our verdicts, and we’ll always tell you when a comparison includes a tool we have a relationship with.
