home schooling question - quick response needed!

He is definitely missing some key concepts along the way - most of them in fact. And the teachers don't seem to want to invest any more time in him. Because he is a foster child, he cannot be home-schooled (even though it would be better for his learning style). My mom is considering getting pre-algebra and algebra home-schooling programs to get him up to speed before he begins 9th grade. I think it would be a good idea for him.

And really, if he is supposed to be using quadratic equations, shouldn't the concept be introduced before they are given the problems?

I would highly recommend the byu program then. It is inexpensive and she could use it as a supplement.

Alternatively, I have a pre-algebra text book I could send her. They could learn the concepts together.
