| Topic | A student just asked me if history class will be "white-washed" |

I read a really good article recently about how textbooks are an outdated practice (although I think it was about science/medicine in particular) because, by the time everything gets proofread, approved, and published, there is likely a new idea or concept and a lot of the published information becomes obsolete. I understand that this maybe doesnt apply to every grade level, but it made me think differently about the role of textbooks in the classroom. In regards to medicine, textbooks arent completely outdated and certain aspects of medicine dont particularly change much at all. We dont rely completely on texts, we use research journals, colleges/organizations who composite data for us so we can come to a consensus, and studies themselves. But the text for most well established things or surgical steps are definitely a gold standard. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
