[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My youngest is in college now.  There has never been textbooks sent home since my eldest was in public school in MoCo.  I just bought 2nd-hand textbooks on Amazon for all grades and all subjects since my eldest went to school and basically made sure that I was teaching them the material in a systematic manner at home.

In my country of origin -  
- We had textbooks that we kept at home, and the same textbooks were used in classrooms too.  We had to buy the textbooks for the next grade before the school closed for the end of the academic year. 
- Textbooks were standardized for the entire state or national board. 
- We were given the curriculum and extensive syllabus for all subjects
- We knew what chapter was covered in each week in each subject
- homework was mandatory but not graded
- All tests and exams were graded and they were sent back home so our parents could check our progress. 
- Curriculum, exams, textbooks and syllabus were standardized.

Your country of origin did it the right way. Our education system is a disorganized dumpster fire — even at DMV privates.  Not having textbooks is absurd. [/quote]
