an Apple for the Class

This article is about a new law that has been passed where textbook companies now have to offer their business to districts instead of states to lower the power of the school board to teach whatever they want the author is targeting families with children and providing helpful news about what to watch for in their schools. The author's claim is that this will help the teachers and parents more local control in their schools. On the other hand many are opposing the idea for reasons like now schools are able to take anything off the web or shelves to teach and when the schools at the end of the year all have to take the Texas state exam will be very difficult to accommodate the entire curriculum.This seems beneficial for all schools in Texas and gives parents and opportunity to interact with their kid’s school and help decide what they want their kids to be taught. If one district chose to teach evolution than they can and if another district wanted to teach creation they have that option now. Textbook companies have been talking to electronic publishers such as apple and kindle to put in schools as well.
