Talk:TEXTBOOK EVALUATION CHECKLIST/@comment-28495467-20160522031238

I feel your pain! Old and outdated textbooks are such a diservice to our students. My daughter got a textbook in Middle School that had also been assigned to her cousin, and he is 5 years older and the textbook even older still. The year our high school district adopted a plan to give all 7th & 8th graders IPads, we had to have students purchase the texts for AP Literature because the district didn't have $ in the budget for that! When we are forced to use textbooks that do not work, it makes for so much extra work on the part of the teacher to create relevant and engaging lessons.
