[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So are the schools (or the students) actually printing out a 1146 textbook and filing it in order in a gigantic notebook in lieu of a bound math text?  Is that really an improvement?   I can see it being useful to have additional [u]math exercises [/u]for practice, but if the content of the textbook is the same, how is it not more efficient to have a bound copy?[/quote]

I guess if they're going about it all wrong sure. Once upon a time, some educators believe scrolls were superior to books and required these fancy new books to be transferred by hand to parchment so kids can get the same experience they had.

Similarly, I had a teacher who hated calculators and made us learn how to use slide rules. Some people cling to these outmoded methods.

People need to learn new ways of doing things instead of clinging to the past.[/quote]

Aren’t we already back to scrolls? Bits and pieces of worksheets; Hard-to-locate easy-to-perish online contents; How well will today’s math students do, and how are they able to carry knowledge to the next human generation, without textbooks?[/quote]

On the contrary, it's all part of this larger web of things like a meta-textbook but better! :D[/quote]
