“The problem with mass-produced textbooks…was that they can cost $65 each and aren’t aligned with Minnesota’s math tests so the district would be paying for whole chapters that are never used.”
A few Minnesota high school districts look to save money and improve test scores by replacing imported textbooks with online curriculum created by teachers in the district. Another benefit being touted is that the “easily updated” online format avoids the out-of-date trap. The tactic is one that schools in states across the country are adopting.
