I would much rather have a poor printed textbook and workbook than use a "good" electronic distraction.

I am a math teacher. I’ve asked on math teacher forums/facebook groups, and the general consensus is that it is rushed (3-5 topics per daily lesson) and very surface level (no challenge or applied thinking or honors level questions).

Yes, the resource has a physical textbook and workbook. 6-8 is a textbook/workbook combo (2 volumes that are the about size of science lab books), AGA is a textbook plus practice workbook.

There are also physical teachers manuals, along with both computer activities, and activities that teachers can project and don't require students to be on their computers.
