[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Working printers and copiers in the schools (and not refurbished ones that are still completely broken) and basic classroom set up supplies for all classes would be a better use of money.[/quote]

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]

You are speaking in ignorance of most research into learning and memory.  Handwriting and reading actual print books is superior.[/quote]

They do write still. As it’s been pointed out numerous times here. They read actual books. As it’s been pointed out numerous times here. Textbooks are obsolete. Colleges rarely use them. But I’m sure your research from 1987 will debunk all that![/quote]

[b]Do you know who uses those textbooks now? Lots of Catholic schools use textbooks. My kid had textbooks for math, science, history, foreign language, vocabulary, spelling, grammar. [/b][/quote]

This is one of the reasons we transferred our kids to Catholic school (and we are not Catholic) once they reached middle school.  Enough with the screens. [/quote]

We looked at a bunch of Catholic schools but only one was welcoming to non-Christian/Catholic and our child wasn't interested but the curriculum looks much better.  MCPS does not teach spelling, grammar or vocabulary.  And, in ES science and history are a joke and foreign language is non-existent in most schools.[/quote]
