Why aren’t they using a book for math???
Especially when a good book is available.
So frustrating
Their contract only extended through A1. But my kid gets the same curriculum for geometry, just in large packets.

It seems like a no brainer to ask for one (for extra practice questions and such).

They've never used it when I forced them to request a loaner and I've given up suggesting they ask...
If kids can't even identify the topic they are studying, that's a real problem. How about they ask the teacher who provided the loaner?
Teachers don’t use the textbooks.

Math is math. You can buy a used book online and match it up to your course.

Mcps and principals are not monitoring what’s going on. This is why kids are struggling.
