[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is the very rare class that uses a text book. I think my kid (not at J-R) had three text books over the course of high school. I wish they were used more![/quote]

This drives me crazy! My kid struggles so much with web-based learning.[/quote]

I think the answer is a bit more nuanced. If they are only doing online modules without teacher interaction, that is different than if they have engaging lessons during the class day, but their homework is on paper or a link on canvas. Especially in the sciences but also in other subjects. Textbooks are hard because they are expensive and need to be replaced a lot when they're updated with new material. 
Also, our Middle School reads paper novels, not chapters or texts online, which I think is important, but I'm not as concerned if he doesn't have a math textbook. They do lessons in class and he has homework either on Delta math or Khan Academy - with occasional paper homework as well.[/quote]
