[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fun fact that goes through my mind any time someone mentions textbooks: I grew up in a communist dictatorship. We had textbooks in every class! Actually really good ones in math. And guess what: parents had to buy them for their children. Poor children received free school copies. Compare to post-communist fighting-for-social-justice America in 2023 where schools don't buy textbooks because they lack the money and asking parents to buy them is considered anti-equity or whatnot because the poor couldn't afford it (and no one would want to subsidize them.) My MS kid now is being read to from a book because the teacher doesn't have enough copies for every child to read themselves. [/quote] Our FCPS MS gives out .pdfs for reading assignments. Most teacher also give out the title and ISBN of the textbook. Smart parents just buy them.[/quote]
