[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can only assume that everybody who yearns for the good old days of textbooks never used a textbook? There used to be a whole lot of bad textbooks. [/quote] Yes, there were some bad textbooks out there, but the parents could look at them and see if they were bad. While they sometimes had factual errors I recall they were usually written and reviewed by a committee of subject matter experts. I'll take them any day over a committee of educational experts whose mathematical expertise is unknown. Further, I think as any textbook is better than none. I'll never forget when my daughter had her first math textbook (Math A). She asked me a question about her homework and when I asked if she'd read that section of her textbook she had no idea what I meant. She was astounded to discover there were explanations and sample problems there to help her. Then I showed her there was also a glossary and index.[/quote]
