[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My objection to online textbooks is too much time in front of a computer, plus lacking the hands-on navigation and portability of a textbook that seems more fitting to paper and pencil work, esp. for math. In my mind computers induce passivity...[/quote] I get that, believe me. And had/have similar feelings. But aside from the screen time issue (says the lady with the internet in her face eight hours a day five days a week) and lack of tactile interface, the book really is laid out the same and requires similar text navigation skills. Also, I am not exaggerating when I say that the weight load these kids were required to carry was a serious health concern. Rolling bags are recommended for this very reason, but still. My leaving-town-for-a-week luggage weighed less. [/quote]
