[quote=Anonymous]Are you sure there’s no textbook?  My DS is at BCC in AlgII and he has a textbook, although it is just used for homework assignments.  Teacher posts class notes and assignment every night, but does not give out any kind of syllabus with longer term view of assignments or topics.

I would encourage your DD to self-advocate - have her go to teacher, express desire to improve and ask if there is a textbook or a way teacher can post notes and assignments week by week.  Even if teacher says she doesn’t use textbook, there probably still is one, either in print or online.

Weekly or monthly assignment sheets is universal access compliant and a best practice in teaching.  Some kids need more time with material because of disability (diagnosed or undiagnosed), or simply because they are juggling sports, family responsibilities like childcare, jobs or alternating custody.

If your DC is not successful, then you can follow up.

Or just buy any used textbook.  Teachers may not follow the same order or depth of complexity, but the broad outlines of AlgII are similar everywhere. Once teacher starts a new topic, DC can find the corresponding chapter in a book. [/quote]
