Educational Software for Middle School

[Ramu Iyer]

My teenage son, who is in middle school, currently prefers to be distracted
from his studies and is always looking intently at his cell phone. It is
not a smart phone. I have given him a phone since most kids carry one to
school. Plus these days the kids want to send text messages to each other
and have fun.

The current situation is that his grades have been trending towards E or F
(not a good thing).

I want to steer my son away from iPhone and other non-educational
distractions and help him improve his concentration. I am thinking that
Ubuntu Education software might come to the recue.

* Is there any Ubuntu software application that helps improve a kid's
concentration?

* I am looking for recommended Ubuntu software applications for middle
school (6th thru 8th grade).

Thanks in advance.
