My parents and I have considered buying an actual textbook not online to replace ones online. We did this because it is to hard to remember to get to the textbook online and figure out ow they whole thing works. My house does not have the best wifi and it does out a lot so I have needed a real textbook a few times. I got a real textbook for english because I knew it would be easier that way.

Yes, not having a textbook has hurt my grades. One time I got assigned a textbook(online textbook) assignment in math and I did not know the question numbers we were supposed to do on the assignment so I could not do all the homework. Therefore I ended up missing so many that I would get a better grade if I did the questions and turned the paper in late so that is what I did.

I do not think going all digital is a good idea because not every one had access to the internet and things get messed up way easier on a electronic device. It is also easier for kids to gat away with things when they have their homework on they computer because they can say it was broken and the teacher would never know.

I do think the trend is going to continue in the united states because people think that students need to get educated in electronics more because there whole live is going to revolve around them. Using electronics also helps to save trees and paper.

The district decided to get rid of textbooks because they cost so much money and they are a hassle to keep up with.
