[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+1 to text books. Was shocked to learn they are not in use in schools anymore. Publishers stopped making them. In this age of homeschool, all I can find are workbooks that don't teach the material. There is a difference between books that explain how to find the least common denominator, for instance, and books that say "find the LCD for these problems below" without explaining. Books with former are dead because schools are not buying them. All I find is the latter which does not well for any actual teaching. It presumes teaching is already done and kids just need practice. Completely flabbergasted.[/quote]

We'll, the kids should know that already at this point in the school year.

There are textbooks, still, but many do assume that the teacher teaches and the textbook reinforces, rather than being the only source of instruction.  I know of a couple homeschooling math textbooks that are designed to teach without any adult interaction, but not many.[/quote]
