Remember when school textbooks were a learning tool, rather than a political indoctrination tool? "The Textbook League was established in 1989 to support the creation and acceptance of sound schoolbooks. Our chief activity is the publication of The Textbook Letter (or TTL, as it is called), which we mail to subscribers throughout the United States. The subscribers include classroom teachers, officers of local school districts, officers of state or county education agencies, and private citizens who take a serious interest in the quality of the instruction offered in the public schools." In my mind, "parents" should be at the top of that list. They could be very surprised at what their kids are learning these days. From This is True for 11 March 2007 Suggestions for further reading:

Need I say more?  by Graduate Management Admissions Council Amazon Price: $11.97 Customer Review: This is a good book with complete sets of exercises, but it would be better to buy the one with Math exercises (the purple one). Even if you don't intend to do Math exercises, it is good to read and understand the test techniques. Newsfeed display by CaRP |
