First kids & preteens need to learn to read on paper. Kids who don't learn to read on paper and don't handle the paper books end up skimming text vs. reading text. As adults we don't do that when we switch because we learned in a tactile way. Digital is great and needed in in a pandemic, when you travel, etc. If kids are getting worksheets or have paper books at home and school they should be fine. Textbooks might not be necessary per se but are kids using textbooks in class and not bringing them home?

To the people who moan that the teacher taught soccer texts to engage the MAJORITY of students - piss off. The world doesn't revolve around you.[/quote]

There's plenty of paper.  We don't use textbooks, per se, the way you think. There's a lack of understanding regarding textbooks, what they are, how they are or were used, and why they are no longer as relevant to education today in the way people think they should  be. That is because  these people are not in the field of education but still want to decide how it all works. We've seen too much of that in this last year. Educators know what they are doing, thank you. [/quote]
