School with no textbooks

When I was in Chicago Public Schools, there were books. Even they were old ones used for many years. They were free. Public school is a blessing. It was close to the start of the '90s and the latest chapter of the US History book was about Nixon elected president. Well, the topics about the colonists, Civil War is kinda fixed so it is ok to have not-so-updated books. And classic are still classics, we still read a thing or two from Mark Twain or even Shakespeare in the textbooks. And grammar books contains the fixed list of usage and stuff... written down in the form of book that can be studied from. They need to be written down in some fixed place... books. Not loose photocopies.

Nowadays Chicago public schools provide NO books. You get a photocopied packet maybe and some workbook maybe... but no textbooks. No that's money saving. Oh my gosh, Students have NOTHING TO STUDY FROM? You can't read a chapter or two ahead of the lesson... you can't read a discussion about how certain things work. Can't read anything about the important history from a book. All you get is idiot common core math useless techniques.

There is NO EDUCATION. Just send the students away from home to get free lunch is all we care about.

Go to a private school you say? Well I don't have astronomical amount of money for that.

Ok perhaps everything inside the ipad? Not all schools focus on them. And if they do they over do this. There should be GOOD books on text, not lame games, not read-for-you-out-loud-on-the-speaker-so-you-don't-have-to. That promotes laziness. You just HAVE to read some paragraphs yourself.

Students. Need. Books.

But bookstores are closing. No one buys books nowadays. I think the world can use great education materials on the ipad... standardized.
