Ping.
Years ago I knew a person who wrote college text books - said it was disgusting work as the Publishers only wanted basic rewrites so older textbooks couldn’t be ‘passed down’...
Seems they’ve updated that concept - now ‘politically collect’ crap can be added along with the old garbage.
Adding updates is one thing....but slandering a president should not be considered textbook material.
It is also one of the books being “trialed” in Gwinnett ounty, Ga. I believe Pearson is one of the publishers which has deep ties to OWO, I’ll and linds Gates.
See my reply #42. Looks like Pearson is selling or has sold the unit to a California based company.
The best teachers know to NEVER inject any opinion into their teaching. Present the facts, have open discussion where everyone is heard and let the students figure out what they believe. Explain how important it is for opinions the students disagree with to be heard. That’s where healthy discourse emerges.
This is appalling on so many levels.
Unfortunately, time is limited to teaching for the tests in the AP classes. Whether intended or not, thestude ts brains “learn” what they will be tested on and that’s what sticks.
I agree Liz - just saying textbook publishers aren’t that ethical to start with... which means they’re most likely democrats ...
This is what worries me. My son will be ready to take APUSH in the next year. I hear that your essays have to be very left leaning to get good scores on the exam as well. So ridiculous. I’m considering dual enroll for my homeschooler instead of AP class for US history, in hopes that the college class will be less liberal than what they have to do for the AP exam.
I teach at a smallish primary school, but I teach special needs in a self contained class. I don’t have to mess with any of that! What’s sad is the prep for tests starts in kindergarten. Kids don’t get to go on lots of field trips, hands on......it is ALL prep to do well on the zillions of tests these kids take.
I’m waiting for a radical parent revolt wee I could see bother conservative & liberal parents in agreement. Refuse to let their kids take these tests. Keep them home on test days, keep them home on make up test days. Tell your governor that these billions we are paying in test prep, test supplies should be going to smaller classes and teacher assistants.
It sickens me. Trump needs to dismantle all the testing that Bush & Obama shoved on everyone.
The ironic thing is that states have so many “special case” requests for kids to move up that the tests are useless. Otherwise most districts would literally have to build new schools to hold the kids who fail.
Please forgive the ranting.
