Maybe I am just being a dinosaur here, but I think it is a tad presumptuous that a middle school teacher in a large city assume that all of her students have access to Internet each night.
What made me consider this is that my son's pre-Algebra teacher is putting her lessons on a web page for the kids to watch at night to make the next day in the class for them to work on the lesson, with her guidance.
I love the concept and see it working great. But for those kids who do not have Internet at home, I wonder how that would go? Granted this math is optional for 7th graders. It is the higher of the two math classes with the other being an advanced basic math. But when we were told that our kids qualified for pre-algebra, we were not told that they had to have Internet access. I am feeling like the set up may screw over kids who are advanced but do not have Internet at home.
