Galaxy Girl: I mentioned ALEKS to my daughter's teacher during a p/t conference. I offered to pay for it. She took it to the principal who checked how ALEKS compares with our Utah curriculum
and went ahead and purchesed it. So the school picked up the cost. There are 5 kids working on Aleks each day (by advocating for my daughter I helped four other kids!). During regular math class TA takes them to the school library (computer lab is occupied) and they use computers there. My daughter has a user name and password, she can access ALEKS at home and work on her own. We love it! I have to mention one thing though, this school makes a hughe effort to accomodate it's students so maybe that's why the whole process was painless :-)
Debbie: I am so happy for you!
