[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] This is may be a more prominent problem at the elementary school level. Why are public schools so against text books now? [/quote] Why do you think that MCPS does not use textbooks? Child #1 (still in elementary school) has been using math textbooks (Harcourt Math) since 3rd grade. I don't like the textbooks, but that's a different issue, given that 1. I also don't know if there are any textbooks available that I would like more. There are certainly textbooks available that I would like less. and 2. MCPS can only buy the textbooks that the textbook publishers sells, and the textbook publishers are, well, influenced by many factors.[/quote] Not every school uses text books. And they certainly don't always follow them. You second point is true. There is no good math textbook. Most publishers publish the reformed math books. I guess they have to make it new and exciting.
