[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS apparently has an online math textbook, but in 4 years I've never seen one page used from it. The teachers just use the dittos from ecart. There are no other textbooks I know of in FCPS at least for elementary and I've heard the same for middle school. High school is a long way away for us still.[/quote] My child uses the online version of the math textbook all the time. They have regular textbooks they keep at school. An online textbook is still a textbook, as opposed to teaching using a variety of "real life" sources such as periodicals and books. Textbooks are appropriate for teaching math but not necessarily so for teaching other subjects. In social studies and science, kids can get a lot more out of reading well-written non-fiction sources.
