[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Getting rid of textbooks was the biggest mistake from FCPS[/quote] It all comes down to money. I doubt they want to replace half of them every year after they are ripped, defaced, or ruined in the latest classroom destruction incident. [/quote] When I was in FCPS (a long time ago) we had textbooks passed down for a number of years. You could see the names written in the front. Covered them in paper bags. I'm sure some number every year went missing or were destroyed by negligent students, but most survived the year. You should all remember this. Are the kids today that much more destructive or negligent? Or do the textbook companies just demand too much money (it is a bit of a racket - maybe a lot of a racket)? Or are the schools spending so much on technology they had to sacrifice textbooks. I think it may be time to return to textbooks.[/quote]
