[br]My high school student came home today and informed us there would be no text book in their pre-calc math class because the school didn't have enough books to go around to all of the students!? Apparently the school has approx 70 books for 92 students.....WTF? This is the second time one of my kids didn't have a book assigned to them because the school didn't have enough....

[br]My youngest informed me that there isn't enough paper for then te get handouts they need for class.

This is my whole point about open enrollment. If it is a great as the school disatrict claims why are we short on required items?

[br]Can't copy because they have no paper either! That amazes me.

But why don't we start a campaign on MSM to buy the additional books? Anyone know of a contact at the school in charge of buying the textbooks who could tell us cost and help coordinate?

[br]They need to put all the forms they send home on the computer. That would save a ton of paper. I fill the same thing out year after year, times 2!

[br]My vote would be to buy a classroom set and then make a webpage that allows students to access the online version of the book. Aren't we looking at 21st century skills? Moving all snow days to online? Cutting cost? Paper reduction? Just food for thought...still face to face instruction using technology in a way that serves every student.

I see the frustration, but buying more text books is not the answer. In addition to that the online versions of these books are called Flex books and they are updated yearly. As the update is made, it filters out to all users.

[br]You don't need a literature text the way the teach language arts now. My daughter said the teacher levels kids according to their reading level. They get to pick their own book from a classroom library. After the teacher teaches the lesson, each student uses their own book to finish the assignment. That way everyone in class works at their own level.

Aren't there different levels of classes any more? Like regular English, CP, AP or IB, etc? This no curriculum setup and everyone picking out their own booked based on level sounds more like the no child left behind madness.

Was this more writing on the wall about the financial state of our school district?

Nope, not at all. Books just weren't ordered on time to be here at the beginning of the school year.
