Does it make any sense WA State and K-12 Districts together spend $130M/yearon textbooks and the results are:
• Books are (on average) 7-10 years out of date• Paper only / no digital versions.• Students can’t write / highlight in books• Students can’t keep books at end of year• All rights reserved… teachers can’t update• Parents often pay for lost paper books…
