[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another vote for textbooks!  We're only in ES so I don't know if it gets better is MS, but for the past 5 years we have never seen a textbook.  The homework is photocopied worksheets from online.  Sometimes we'll get a sheet that truly makes no sense because the format got messed up in transition (especially with fractions, when the lines don't show up where they are supposed to).

[b]There is no way to refer back to review how to do something.  Kids are taught it once or twice in class (like the various strategies to add three digit numbers) but if they forget when they get home to do their homework, we need to go online and google it to figure out how they were taught.

I don't mind the various strategies but I would like a reference to be able to help with HW.

Luckily I have the time and energy to do this, but what about parents who don't?  Their kids either just can't do their homework or just kind of move on?

I know our teachers have not corrected homework for the past two years (no homework has been returned) so it's not like the teacher is helping with homework.[/quote]

So there is a way, it's just that the way is on the Internet.[/quote]

Yes here is but I want to know how my kids teacher explained it which would be in the book/reference they used. And then I would find additional resources to help my child. But I need to start with what and how it was taught. We had textbooks in college and I have plenty of textbook like reference materials I use in my engineering job. Why don't we have elementary and middle school textbooks anymore. [/quote]
