[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 390281, member: 1991"] ML, another possibility for Manster is to do his own study online. We just got the sign-in details for difficult child 3 from his school, for the online Maths website we use here. It is available internationally and is cheap (compared to stuff I have seen advertised for thousands of dollars) but there may be something similar for you over there. This new school year, difficult child 3 will be logged in via the school; in past years, we've paid for this ourselves because the school dropped out of the program for a while. When the school was not using it, difficult child 3's Maths work was presented as thick pages of workbooks. He waded through it, took a lot of time to get through. But they're back online, and I watched difficult child 3 yesterday work really hard on the computer to do his revision. I was not looking forward to yet another year of difficult child 3 wading through pages and pages of bookwork, so I asked SpEd if we could organise the website Maths instead, if some part of it could be used for his assessments. They agreed readily, which is how we're back here. And already it is paying off (and the school year has not officially started!). The teacher will be able to log on to view difficult child 3's progress, but the website itself does the coaching, answers any questions, explains things well with diagrams and even pits kids of equal ability around the world against one another in fun tests. It's great for teaching a kid to actively seek out explanations for the things they don't fully understand. A student can join as part of a school-based program, or as a home study student. A lot of students are using it just to boost their understanding outside school. Marg [/QUOTE]
