[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Textbooks are an outdated practice that are expensive, inflexible, and disliked by students.  Schools across the country have stopped using them.[/quote]

Public schools across the country have stopped using them and justify this by talking about the "expense" of purchasing them. Instead they are spending that money on Chromebooks which have full internet access because everyone knows children have the self-control to focus on the math problems they are supposed to be doing on the screen instead of Youtube videos.
In the meantime Catholic schools are still using textbooks and we can all see the terrible results they are getting in educating children of all socioeconomic backgrounds. [/quote]

Are catholic schools doing any better than FCPS? Do you have any data to back up your assertion? [/quote]

Why can’t you look things up on your own?  Here’s the data:

Why can’t you post things that aren’t propaganda? Education Next wants to siphon public education dollars to further enrich corporate America. Because everyone knows businesses are great at educating our children[/quote]

…They said without a touch of irony as their kids learn math from ST math and reading from Lexia. And the slew of other public education dollar-bought technology platforms.[/quote]
