[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Could it have to do with lack of $ to buy them? Is it cheaper to photocopy ?[/quote]

Lack of money is a lie. MCPS had a SURPLUS of textbooks funds in FY 24 and still got an increase in textbook funds for 2025.

I wrote Taylor, council and the BOE this morning when I read that in the news. I’m livid my 9th graders are still doesn’t have an AP textboook and has teeny tiny illegal photocopies from the teacher. The irony is the RT for this department is quoted in the media as “worried about our school’s diversity if they take out IB”. Why isn’t she concerned her department isn’t fully resources with basic supplies?!?[/quote]

APs have textbooks? Don't most students borrow or buy them to study for the exam?[/quote]

The College Board requires that students have access to an approved college textbook (not just a classroom set).  If yours doesn’t, let the principal know that you will report the school to the CB if they do not acquire the books.[/quote]

No, we did not have a textbook for Calc bc.  Just a homework problem packet.  [/quote]

"No" is not an appropriate response here.  If you did not, you could have reported the school to the College Board.

"AP Calculus BC resource requirements:
The school ensures that each student has a college-level calculus textbook (in print or electronic format) for individual use inside and outside the classroom. The textbook is supplemented when necessary to meet the curricular requirements.
The school ensures that the teacher has a copy of the most recent edition of a college-level calculus textbook or other appropriate materials to support instruction."
