[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a teacher, I find this discussion fascinating.  For years, teaching from the textbook has been looked down upon as old fashioned.  Parents and students used to complain about teachers just assigning work from the book.  Teachers are now encouraged to use more primary sources and a variety of other materials to teach.  So why exactly do you all want the textbooks so badly?  Is it so you can follow the curriculum more closely?  Do you feel like the book is more challenging than what the teacher is providing?  Are you wanting your kid to use it to learn independently?[/quote]

[b]I personally think it’s a backlash against the overuse of technology and app-based learning.  Just not sure those programs really fit into a curriculum and offer the best learning tools.  They were understandably relied on heavily during virtual learning but I’d like schools to get back to basics of pen, paper and actual books in hand.  Enough with the constant technology![/b][/quote]
