[quote=Anonymous]Direct quote from one of PP’s anti textbook articles: “The educational community was quick to respond to the (legitimate) criticism of textbooks,” he wrote, “but quicker still to adopt their horrific replacements: excessive use of lecture, worksheets, movies, poster making, and pointless group work.” ^This is largely what I’m seeing at my AAP center, but replacing the lecture bit with pointless centers. Lack of textbooks wouldn’t be a problem if the school had a curriculum and abandoned the centers model. No textbook + no curriculum = teachers having to generate content from thin air. For both of my kids, VA Studies was a much higher quality class than anything else they’ve done in elementary. It’s also the only class that has a textbook. [/quote]
