I suggested ditching chromebooks for old school text books to our Superintendent and you would have thought I insulted her personally.

No, you just showed your ass intellectually and she recoiled.

You want to go back to a time when schools got new books every 30 years? Or vandalized books that have been written on for a decade? Or children hunched over, trying to lug half a tree in their backpacks?

I love physical books as much as anyone, but digital textbooks are 1000x better.

So, one can't literally judge a digital book by its cover?

That's not showing your ass. That's stating a valid position on educational best practices. I've been teaching for nearly 25 years. The difference in learning between kids reading a book and reading on a screen is astronomical. I'd much rather go back to physical books.

Simple math, English, grammar, reading some things haven't changed.
