Everyone except the teachers and school board at Winslow Middle School seems to know that the days of print textbooks are over. Here at Winslow, we still have to lug around 12-pound history books and 8-pound math books. These backbreaking volumes are dinosaurs from the Stone Age. If Winslow Middle School wants to prepare its students for the future, why teach them from books? Instead, give each of us a notebook or pad! Also, equip classrooms with interactive whiteboards and other technologies. In the workplace, we will not be doing our future jobs using print. Therefore, why are we using print now?
