There is a flaw in the LOCAL education system AND I can not understand why it is that I am one of a few complaining about.
We pay over four hundred dollars to the school every year for a book charge, but this year there were no books distributed. All assignments arrive on printed out, even hand written in math, printer paper.
IF I need to refresh my child's mind about his lesson, I can not just whip open a book and read it for myself and ask about the pertinent points. There is NO book, only a work sheet and in rare cases, a study sheet, all printed from a computer.
I know this is more personal than general as you have been discussing, but FUCK!! Why do they (the local school boards) still need to make us (parents) spend over four hundred dollars on a book fee if there will be no books?
