      <![CDATA[Is it really worth cutting costs to provide such poorly-written and poorly-researched textbooks to Virginia's students? I do slightly remember a general history textbook from "long ago" and I would never have questioned the validity of the information within.

      <![CDATA[Guidelines that would ever allow for such error-laden textbooks in the classroom might as well not be issued at all. The Board of Education is setting itself up for another round of national ridicule - well done!

      <![CDATA[Did anybody at the board who knew anything about history (or Mali) actually read these books? <br>
<br>
One of education's major tasks, in addition to imparting real and essential knowledge of various subjects, is help students become critical thinkers—people who can separate the crap from the truth.<br>
<br>
The idea behind any curriculum, like the idea behind education itself, is that educated people share a fund of real and valuable information, and that children can acquire that fund.

      <![CDATA[I've long wondered why Virginia's Board of Education would put textbooks in the classroom that wouldn't pass a freshman English writing assignment. Five Ponds Press should be banned until it can prove it engages content experts and can guarantee the veracity of its publications.
