That is the real bottom line.  Brining textbooks back will help the students actually learn the material, and as a by product, also will raise test scores (SOLs as well as other more basic tests like reading ability and math ability).[/quote]I think textbooks were removed for equity.  It's very difficult for parents to help their kids study when all they have are a few photocopies and a YouTube video.  Because poor parents aren't helping their kids anyway, not having textbooks helps close the achievement gap by hindering everyone else.[/quote]

Lol. Whoever typed this is clinically insane.[/quote]1. Who helps kids with studying more, poor or wealthy parents?   2. Do textbooks help parents (who all used textbooks as students) assist their kids more than videos and photocopies?  3. Is equity not a main pillar of most progressive school districts?[/quote]
