[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And that's a problem in college for kids who've only used textbooks I guess, but not a current problem for our students today who receive zero textbooks and therefore have no way to organize their learning. Can't there be a middle ground where we use both?[/quote]
I think Math is where kids suffer the most from not having a textbook. [/quote]

What school is not using textbooks for math? My kids have always had a text for math (FCPS schools).[/quote]

Nothing as far as I know, at least in elementary school. Teachers print out worksheets of the internet. The worst I heard was that the worksheet was meant to be in color so the questions would involve things like how many of the ice cream cones are strawberry flavored and how many are chocolate. And they all look the same in black and white.

Not having a text book is one reason why it is so hard for the kids to make any connection between concepts. There is nothing to review after class. Parents cannot help their kids if they didn't learn to do something the same way as the kids are learning now because there are no books to use. [/quote]
