Mostly I disagree with what the author advances in this article, but it is what we call in the trade a 'great rant' and well worth reading. The author, who recently served on Prentice Hall's "Master Teacher Editorial Board," argues that textbooks are the students' best hope against poor or indifferent teaching. What I like about this article is its honesty. There is no doubt that the publishing gnomes think that they are the bast bastion of civilization, holding the fort against the great unwashed. It's a crock, of course. We do not need to depend on the decisions made by textbook editors. With access to a world of online resources, we can choose for ourselves.
