[quote=Anonymous]There are lots of problems with not having quality textbooks for kids in FCPS, such as:
-lack of continuity and connectedness in topics
-gaps in knowledge 
-less learning from reading
-less hand-to-mind activation with loss of ability to write in margins and highlight
-no one source to read and re-read as a review
-no consulting source to answer questions 
-no ability for teachers to know what full class body knows because lack of consistency due to vids and differentiation
-poorly written, un-peer reviewed materials which lack color, graphs, excitement in layout
-lots of grammatical and math mistakes in internet material pulled from random creators 
-lack of sequential learning and thoroughness 
-too much reliance on Gatehouse to make a better curriculum than McGraw Hill, for example—who qualifies them
-too much printing out worksheets and gluing pages 
-no cohesive book to review for SOL at end of year 
-no practice in reading textbook before college 
-poor study skills with no learned note-taking ability
-etc [/quote]
