[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents still have to come in person to view curriculum materials. Which is very inconvenient for working parents. [/quote]
MCPS has all the books listed. Parents interested in opting out aren’t going to actual read the books. They are just going to follow which zealot is the flavor of the day and opt out what they say is problematic for whatever reason.[/quote]

None of our syllabus's have textbook or english book information.  Its frusterating.  I want to be able to buy them so my kids have copies vs. pdf or classroom copies.[/quote]

Just ask the teacher.  Why are you making this complicated.  No one is expecting you to buy the curriculum book. This is about opting out.  The books you could opt out of are listed. You can look them up and read them all yourself if you desire.[/quote]

We can only look them up if we have a list of books.  Yes, we asked the teacher and they said they will let the kids know when they decide.  They don't preplan.  You have to buy the book if you want your child to have a physical copy.  Same with textboks.  We were given photocopies in one class of a textbook and kids were told they had to keep it prestine for next year, so we bought it to save any drama.[/quote]

The defined list of novels for English is on the sheet.  If there are other ones being used they are going to be selected by the individual teacher, which means you will need to ask your teacher as they are starting new units.

My child has never been given photocopies of an entire textbook at once and told to keep it pristine for next year.  You should talk to your teacher or school if that’s the case.[/quote]

Just because it hasn't happened to your child, doesn't mean it doesn't happen at other schools.  Talk to the teacher about what?  If we want the textbooks or novels we buy them.  I bought two textbooks so far this year.[/quote]
