[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is my observation of two systems after experiencing then hands on ( the second one through my child) and the conclusion. Education specialists may pick up and test this hypothesis with data if they’d like even as it is as obvious as saying ‘if you exercise you will be healthier.’
[b]The lack of textbooks is a huge handicap. 
There is nothing more satisfying than look back at the material you learned at the end of the year, all in one place, and not a pile of disconnected and mixed up worksheets.[/b]
I actually now wonder if the lack of textbooks creates harder environment for ADHDs.[/quote]
I agree. But the "textbook" does not have to be a bound book like in the old days. Why can't they use what worked the prior year? Start with that. Gather the material and store it electronically. It just need to be organized in one place at the beginning of the year. Both the students and parents can view them and know what the expectation will be at the start of the year.

Without the "textbooks", it lacks the transparency of what is being taught. PP thinks that the textbooks make the teachers lazy. But I would argue that it makes it easier to hide what's NOT being taught. [/quote]
