"Digital instructional content" coming to Texas?
Huh! Do they even make creationist textbooks for e-readers? Last edited by WT Sharpe; 12-11-2009 at 05:07 PM. |

What about taking the book home for homework? That seems to be a drawback to me.

(I have to add that so those nutty Texas militia members won't come gunning for me!) Good question. It's much easier for cash-strapped parents to replace lost or damaged textbooks than it is to replace lost or damaged e-readers. There are many advantages to going digital, but children and teenagers aren't always the most careful of people around delicate electronic instruments!
