Does anyone have any suggestions on how best to learn Drupal? I'd like to take a class but I'm not having any luck. Private lesson? But I don't know where to look. Any thoughts? I could really use some help.

A great thing to get you
A great thing to get you started is to go to one of the Drupal meetings Captech is holding. All levels of Drupalers are welcome. http://groups.drupal.org/node/130434
If you are interested in something a little more private, I'd be happy to help you out. Private lessons is not something I usually do, but I have no problem meeting you somewhere and teaching at an hourly rate.

Drupal Tutorials and Training
I agree with Jacob, joining us at the next local Drupal Group meeting at CapTech is a great place to start. Also, there are several basic tutorials (free) available from Siteground.
List of Topics: http://www.siteground.com/tutorials/drupal-tutorial/
One Example: http://www.siteground.com/tutorials/drupal-tutorial/drupal_how_to_use.htm
And, of course, don't forget Drupal.org:
* About theming
* Theming Drupal 6 and 7
o Specifying theme components and settings
o Working with CSS
o Overriding themable output
o PHP Includes in Drupal
o Quickstart Links for Drupal 6 themes
o Theming with contributed modules
o Working with JavaScript and jQuery
o Core templates and suggestions
See: http://drupal.org/node/221881
I hope this helps.

duh...drupal.org
Great point Greg,.. drupal.org, why didnt I think of that! :)
Drupal.org is basically where I learned most everything Drupal. Well, I guess I should say, hands on experience is where I learned everything while info at drupal.org guided me along the way. Try here: http://drupal.org/start
There you will notice several guides on how to do things, and links to support and more.

DC Drupal Camp
I've been reading there is plans for a DC Drupal Camp in July (22,23?). Should be a good place for old and new Drupalers to meet and learn. http://groups.drupal.org/node/128174
