[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Study guides from the teacher. Often they are posted on Edline.

I find it so surprising that people are hung up on text books. Our kids have these mega binders that are compiled throughout the school year. There are internet resources. There are the study guides that are posted. The teachers send home study packets.

Most of us have adjusted in our work lives to the fact that we type everything instead of writing longhand and having a secretary type it. We've gone from typewriters to computers. We've gone from mail to fax to scanning documents.  We used to write checks and now we go onto our bank websites and type in a dollar amount to send to our creditor. But we can't adjust to the move away from textbooks?!  [/quote]

Instead of textbooks all our kids get are worksheets and blank notebooks to fill in. They just aren't as interesting and on top of that the kids aren't taught how to take notes properly. They are just given worksheets to cut up, paste in a notebook, and fill out. Why not just get a workbook instead? Or teach a kid how to take notes properly? Also, they are starting this too young in about 3rd grade when kids are not ready to take notes like a college level student.[/quote]
