If you haven't heard about Khan Acadmey, you should find out. The lessons are free! The concept is to have a lecture at home, then do homework in class. More than that, he offers practice problems for every concept with hints and video lectures to help kids get the concept. Kids and adults like it because they can pace themsleves and they don't have to admit in front of their peers that they haven't mastered the concept yet. I have forwarded this to our school district and asked them to consider using this for our kids. They have forwarded it to every member of the board and will be considering it in their next meeting.1st: Watch this summary http://youtu.be/UuMTSU9DcqQ (about 2 minute)
