[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hold on - there are no textbooks in APS??? My DS is starting K and we are keeping him at current preschool for the K year because of small class and were then planning to move to an APS ES school. I'm going to date myself here, but kids don't have workbooks like "Wordly Wise," etc or books for social studies reading or math problems? What do they have? I have a PhD in the humanities and my main way of learning was reading independently - hate group work etc. Is that all there is in APS? Tell me more![/quote]

We had science and math textbooks at Claremont. Well, the math may have been more of a workbook? But the science one is a real text book. I personally don't remember having textbooks until middle school.

My oldest is now in 3rd grade and he gets Xeroxed pages (like articles to read) and then work sheets.  [/quote]

APS has no math text books.  I don't know about other subjects across the board.  [/quote]

The last math textbook adoption in Arlington was for the 2010-11 school year.   Some schools may have old books sitting around, or maybe teachers have purchased some on their own, but nothing from the central office. since 2010-11. [/quote]
