"My 8th grader is not allowed to bring her Science textbook home."
Is that even legal??? I mean, that parents CANNOT know what their child is being taught?

Is that even legal??? I mean, that parents CANNOT know what their child is being taught? That's not it. There's not enough to go around. I don't believe that the teacher kept the textbooks in the classroom to keep them away from parents. This morning, I walked into the classroom and politely asked for one of the textbooks and he gave it to me. No problem.

My 8th grader is not allowed to bring her Science textbook home. The reason is that the Science teacher purchased the textbooks with his own money and doesn't want any to be lost or defaced. In fact, there's not enough books to go around so some students must double up on a textbook. Uh....my daughter was told the same thing in her NY high school....I never liked that, either; it was "funny" though, that she could always bring her math books home.
