[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]As a parent it would be nice to understand what she’s learning and a textbook would help with that and make me better able to assist.[b] My sons private school uses textbooks and it also helps him stay organized. [/b]Having a great teacher that can carefully curate curriculum and materials is great but some teachers are not as good as it and it really stinks when your kids is reliant on their half ass materials. The OP is desperate.[/quote]

Isn't the problem that your kid will need to learn how to stay organized without a textbook to actually function in the real world? To not flame out in college if they end up going? How will they learn that skill if they aren't given the chance in school?

It seems like this is an example of alot of parents not being able to handle that teaching and technology have moved on from what they experienced in the 80s and 90s and hamstringing their kids because of it.

Believe it or not, there are still textbooks in college.  Many opt for the online version; but there's still a book or two or three.[/quote]

Also, the point is to scaffold kids to a place where they don’t need textbooks— not to assume every 2nd grader has excellent executive functions already.  I’m 100% pro mask, in favor of teaching about systemic racism and the power of privilege, and pro textbook.  Also- lots of us use manuals or books at work so… it’s not like book learning must end at some point[/quote]
