Why? What cutting edge information are kids learning in grade school? Anymore, the state has difficulty producing young people who are minimally literate - let alone on the bleeding edge of learning.
Antiquated textbooks? Give me a break. Geometry, algebra, English grammar, US History — none of this has changed over the DECADES. Just the Commie spin on it. Those books cost $100 per! What other books do you EVER buy that cost that much? For that little?
Oh spare me the whine.
