Quote of the Week

“Geography, for instance, was taught through Google Earth maps and no textbook.

Teachers complained that the software was not installed until late in the year and that satellite maps gave them little or no parameters for teaching social aspects of geography.”

- Jane Roberts writing in the Commercial Appeal about how the Memphis school system will be paying $10 million for textbooks in part to bring science teaching up to speed so that students meet new statewide requirements.
