Good idea
Speaking as a grandparent and sometimes tutor of an eleven year old, I think it is an idea whose time has come. The teachers and parents need to weigh in on this though. Do all of the students in your school have access to the internet from home? Do they all have computers? What about the ones that don't?
Keep us posted on how it goes.
