Lots of "crash courses" in all kinds of topics--exactly the kind of thing I think you are looking for--delivered by professors and subject matter experts. Many ways to plug into it: can subscribe directly on their website, there is an Amazon Channel for like $3/mo if you have Prime Video. I currently use Audible.com and purchase courses through there that I listen... Source: about 1 year ago

• How can I stop being clueless and become more of an active listener when people are talking?

  I used to have the same problem. After graduating college I realized there was a lot I still didn't know, so I started educating myself. I watched countless courses from thegreatcourses.com on science, religion, philosophy, history, etc among other things. I also listened to a lot of music, paying careful attention to words, mostly in the form of rap music, some of it really fast. That seemed to help me pick out... Source: almost 2 years ago

• Anyone else hate talking online?

  I used to be really terrible with conversations. I spent a lot of time in chatrooms in my college years trying to gain more experience communicating.

• homeschool help !!

  You don't say how old she is. There are many programs you can enroll her in BUT if she wants to work at her own pace you can look online for what your state/municipality expects a child to know in each year. You can use workbooks, resources like CK-12 for science and video instruction or Khan Academy. Source: 5 months ago

• Best 7th grade math textbook?

  However, the math instruction that worked for me (I suddenly had to teach upper level math to expelled students in a self-contained class - and didn't know anything past Alg 1) was khanacademy.org, a free online program. I also learned chemistry and physics when those became required. Source: 10 months ago
