Online education

Looking for alternatives to in-person school for a kid (gee I wonder why), there were some nice options but they all required some self-motivation to use which sadly was not present. These are some of my favorites of the ones recommended to me:
Elephango, a membership service that looks really friendly, broad, and deep. Pricey though. https://elephango.com/
Codemonkey, a great top-down approach to teaching coding basics and mindsets and then languages. Requires a student who doesn't have to be dragged through learning things though. https://www.codemonkey.com/
Khan Academy, a lot of peoples' go-to for math, they do organize their curiculum very well but barely seem to have more than a few examples for each subject. They do have other subjets also, but mostly everyone cares about the math. One video per lesson so if you don't get it and you aren't capable of looking up alternative lessons on a topic yourself you're stuck. http://www.khanacademy.org/
