[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Giving out textbooks is a bit antiquated. I was a biology teacher for years before I became an admin. It's really the lazy teachers that have kids read/outline/answer questions. More advanced teachers are going to utilize more cooperative learning strategies, teach them the standards and incorporate more outside the box thinking. [/quote] None of that is incompatible with having a textbook. It's just a resource. Sure, if it were the *only* resource you used to teach your biology (or any) class, it would be antiquated, but why throw the baby out with the bathwater? I don't understand why we feel the need to take away resources from students.[/quote] I could tell you stories about school systems and the "crossing of palms" in the purchasing of textbooks. [/quote] Huh?[/quote]
