The problem is many classes with no textbooks are hard to follow and set kids up to fail. Some kids do better with structured teaching. What’s going on now clearly isn’t working.
Most college courses don’t use textbooks.
BS! They use a book. A textbook, professional journals, fiction, non fiction, etc. Nobody is teaching college on a whim you idiot!
Same applies to secondary schools. They’re using content related texts (primary sources, journals, articles, etc.), just not textbooks.

A functional web interface to replace the sh**show that is Canvas/Synergy/Parentvue/Gradebook.
We moved from another school district that had a much better system than MCPS.

Are you out of your mind? With a few days you will be called racist. I am glad it's working at your kid's school but no one has balls to implement this system wide.
That's fine. If you do the crime...

How would you handle a school with 5 qualified children in a grade? Do they get their own class?
Yes
