[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Earlier in the thread someone stated they do not get  a textbook until PreCalculus.  In MCPS I think that is 9th grade?

[b]Two billion dollar budget and they can't afford textbooks.[/b]  Unbelievable.

Next time you go into a classroom ask the teacher how much time they spend at a copier every week.  Just imagine if they had a actual textbook to work from, to plan ahead and work out a lesson plan, instead of a nebulous instructions from a newsletter.[/quote]

Please provide a reference to one instance of someone explaining on behalf of MCPS that the reason there are no math textbooks in elementary schools is that MCPS can't afford them.[/quote]

Oh, I've got this.  March 8, 2016 Business Meeting, Agenda item 7.1 Math Plan and Data Review, around 74 minutes in, there's a question about math packets and discussion of textbooks.  Don't think it's possible to provide a direct link, look it up here: [url]http://www.boarddocs.com/mabe/mcpsmd/Board.nsf/Public#[/url]  (I would like to hear the discussion when this was originally decided but not certain when that happened.)[/quote]

Sorry, didn't read completely.  Reason given is that texts available aren't CC aligned and this is in reference to HS texts.[/quote]
