If they get an answer marked wrong, it's my choice to leave it or reassign that question.

How are short answer questions and essays graded? In Monarch, I grade them. The Power Homeschool website says everything is graded automatically but I don't see how the software can grade an essay.

Is it pretty easy to see a report of what they did in a day/week far as content and objectives? I'm going to be enrolling in an umbrella next year and I'll need to give a 2-3 sentence summary of what was done in each subject every week. So I want that to be very quick and easy.

I like some things about Monarch but there are enough things I don't like that I really hope we like Power Homeschool better and it will fit my record keeping needs.

Apologies, my computer time has been nil lately.

We use homeschool mode. Tutoring mode allows them to jump around and other things that I don't find helpful for the way my child needs to learn. There are no essays. The program auto-grades as they move along. If they're not grasping the material it goes into recovery, they can watch the video and re-attempt the quiz. There are also more resources, notes and videos under the help tab. There are general outlines of the material in the parent app, but you'll get better outlines by joining the power homeschool official and power homeschool parents fb groups and asking. There are also printable {pdf} textbooks in those groups that some of the parents have assembled.

You can log into the parent app and see everything. Completed, attempted, grade etc.
