[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have kids who have been in APS for 7 and 9 years. They are learning just fine. Without textbooks. The obsession with textbooks from the elementary parents on this thread is bizarre. Hardly worth private school tuition and hardly the lynchpin of education. Save yourself tuition money and buy a set of textbooks for your kids if it’s so important to you! Very weird point of emphasis. [/quote] It shouldn't be the responsibility of the parent to provide separate instruction with a textbook to help their child learn. The school should be providing proper instruction and - especially in math - most students learn better and master the concepts better with paper and pencil. Even if it isn't an actual workbook or textbook, paper and pencil is more effective and often essential for students over digital learning of math. It's not an obsession by parents on here. It's a legitimate point.[/quote]
