You are correct, we have that now.
The electronic format is appealing to me because it can be interactive. Allowing open discussion of subjects. The print avenue is only a one way path.
It assumes that children or readers are sponges, and that all knowledge comes from the authorities.
The success of the web on forums like this is the fact that it allows open discussion.
Is there manipulation? Yes, but with feedback it can be controlled.
The Left cannot and will not allow freedom. They cannot maintain control if it is allowed.
Anybody ever watch how a kid treats a textbook? Stuffed into the backpack and thrown around with abandon? I don’t see electronic books, with the attendant costs, as a reasonable alternative in a public school.
Precisely so ... and since the Left controls government schools, they will not produce curriculum, in any format, that accurate presents facts in order that students may personally reach conclusions about them.
Non-public education - homeschoolers, private schools, colleges - is making ever-greater use of interactive presentation. Whether the physical format of "electronic books" will prove more useful than (for example) the PC I'm using now remains to be seen.
