Will it ever remember my login on its own?

I mean, I do this for my homework and if I don’t get it, I won’t get any like playtime on Fridays and it just forgets how much lessons I do each time and every time I re-log it set me back on zero I mean is it worth a decent update or thing? If you just remembered my how much I’ve done.

Confusing

We were told to use this by our school for both our kids. Even after years of enduring it, I still find it one of the most confusing, unintuitive learning experiences. Different levels that don’t mean anything, and rather naff games. Just get your kids to read, and read to them. They’ll be fine.
