Some textbooks would be nice too so they don't need as many copies.[/quote]

Or maybe even go paperless! Join the 21st century and do the planet a favor![/quote]

Some kids learn better with textbooks, like mine and paper ones.  If you are so worried about the planet, try virtual school - much better for the environment as well.  And, its all online.   No buses, no school building, etc.[/quote]

Sincerely time for you to evolve. (I’m sure your kid probably has already) [/quote]

I heard they went down to when they transitioned from hand written scrolls. :([/quote]
