Professional educators must hate trees, the environment and saving money.
Free, online textbooks have been available for years. Yet, the educators put up roadblocks to stop their use. "While many such textbooks have been available online for years, they were never evaluated by the state for content, leaving teachers to question the legitimacy.
The governor asked publishers to submit free digital textbooks for consideration and 16 of 20 books were ultimately reviewed. Of those, four met all state standards and six came close, according to the California Learning Resource Network, which evaluates all state textbooks.
Because the online books are made available by the publishers for free, they were not required to go through the state's entire textbook adoption process, which includes a review for discriminatory content or compliance with equal representation standards - making sure not all doctors pictured are men, for example."
Who cares about the pictures? Get rid of all pictures if needed. This is why government education has too much money--until they use online textbooks as the standard, these folks are wasting tax dollars.
Between the corruption and waste of LAUSD and the lack of online textbooks, education needs more cuts till they decide to become honest
