Remedial math courses costly for students, colleges

<p>Recently saw a fascinating TED talk by Salmon Khan on math learning.</p>

<p>[Salman</a> Khan: Let’s use video to reinvent education | Video on TED.com](<a href=“http://www.ted.com/talks/salman_khan_let_s_use_video_to_reinvent_education.html]Salman”>http://www.ted.com/talks/salman_khan_let_s_use_video_to_reinvent_education.html)</p>

<p>One of his points is that even when a kid doesn’t get a particular concept, the class moves on anyway and then sets him/her up for further problems later when that concept is required for the next step up. Simple as that may be, I hadn’t thought of math education in that particular way. Highly recommend watching the talk.</p>
