[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The best you can do is a thread on textbooks to back up your anger? Wow! Textbooks are archaic. Kids have access to online textbooks and Google and a host of other online help. Check the teacher blackboard or google site and look for yourself.  The classroom is changing-finally! It's catching up to this century! [/quote]

Don't know what to tell you, but a lot of parents and kids aren't on board with all the changes.[/quote]

My husband and I, as well as plenty of our neighbors and friends, see online textbooks as just one more nail in the coffin of FCPS.  Sure, it's nice to have the *option* of an online textbook, but every child deserves a hard copy to keep at home.  They are far easier to refer to, you don't have to have an internet connection, and there are no "glitches" with a real book.  Our kids invariably have the online version freeze up on them in the middle of studying, and then we're left with nothing.  We would request (and often have to demand) a real textbook for every class at the beginning of the year.  It's ridiculous.[/quote]
