Teachers are often their own worse enemies.  For some inexplicable reason, there is a stigma against teaching out of a textbook, which seems ridiculous because almost all teachers get worksheets off the internet to give their students.  Teaching out of a textbook is not simply read the chapter and answer the questions.  Most textbooks have lots of suggestions for projects/games, etc. But for some crazy reason, teachers are looked down on for actually using the textbooks that their school divisions bought. [/quote]

Teachers are explicitly told they are not to teach from the textbook -- certainly not to follow a textbook chapter by chapter in order, the way the textbook was written.  They are to take lesson stems from one place; lesson seeds from another place, parts A and B from chapter 2 of textbook A, parts C and D from chapter 9 of Textbook B, video lesson from Kham Academy, and online practice from the online textbook company.  Follow it all up with poorly written worksheets and problem sets from the Curriculum Office, plus worksheets from teacherspayteachers....[/quote]
