Soccer star David Beckham is using technology to help his kids with their homework. While they’re in the US and he’s in Italy, he teaches them over the Internet.

The Los Angeles-based star is on loan at A.C. Milan, separating him from wife Victoria and their three sons.

But the England ace is refusing to neglect his fatherly duties, and has been using the Internet to keep in touch with his family back home, reported contactmusic.com.

“The other night I said to David, ‘I am really struggling with the homework here and I have so much going on at the house’ so I sat Brooklyn down in front of the computer and they Skyped for 20 minutes. Brooklyn did his reading to Daddy over the Skype,” said Victoria.
