[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter started 1st grade this year.  I am astonished that kids do not have any textbook.  This is really unacceptable!

Without textbook, I have no idea what she learns in school and how she can review those.

Is there anyone care?[/quote]

I found it confusing as well when my kids started school.   Especially for Math.   I had no idea what they were teaching.  The curriculum is one thing, but the way Math terms are used  and the way the concepts taught nowadays - they are different from how I had learnt it in school and college.  So you do need a TEXTBOOK here.  Having workbooks was not enough for me, because I wanted to use the same vocabulary that was being used at school.

You can ask the teacher to let you borrow a textbook or give you the name of the textbook they are using....or go to Amazon.com and buy 2nd hand Houghton Mifflin Math Textbooks.

For English readings - I would go to the Reading Specialist (each school has one) and ask for a list of texts that they would be using. Most of the times though English and Science is not as much of an issue, as Math is.

My 2 cents! Hope this is helpful.
