Back in the early 90s, when my kids were little, I gave serious thought to forming a company that would go around buying old history books from k-8 schools, and stockpiling them for sale to home schoolers and private schools. I remember the ones that I we had in my days in school, they taught about America, it’s founding and its great figures in history, and I saw that the new books coming out at the time were going in a different direction, one that we are now reaping the consequences of.

Anyway, I actually looked into it, searching for bulk sales and creating preliminary plans, but the law practice had a way of interfering and I eventually gave up on the idea. Wish I had done it.

Old sets of encyclopedia Britainica as well as “the book of knowledge” encyclopedias from the fifties/sixties as well. A set in every attic in America!

I have a great English book from grade school “Voyages in English.”

All the readings and exercises used uplifting, character-building, or patriotic examples to teach grammar. It is a thing of beauty.

The materials I see at the school where I work today are babyish and laughable in comparison.

ditto that regarding different direction.

back in the day, ( 70’s) jewel foods was selling a encyclopedia set a book at a time (brittannica) - volume at a discount when buying food.

I bought ‘em all. Of course they were outdated the minute they were printed.
Kids wore ‘em out, cause I wouldn’t just give them answers. We used them thru the 90’s.
Kids wondered why the info was different than what was in their text books.
Smart kids.

G’kids come along, no room on the book shelf for pictures so the set had to go.

Cursory glance through it before the adios - mostly civil war stuff - amazing what nobody teaches anymore....It’s all now social justice crap.

Homeschooling Christian history book were still rather good several years ago. Somehow I doubt those conservative companies will go with the propaganda flow.
