Seven-year-old Marley Parker was in for a treat when she opened her class textbook to find the name of a former student that rang a bell.

The first grader at Latta Elementary School in Oklahoma was thrilled when she found out her book used to belong to country music star Blake Shelton, but her mother, Shelly Bryan Parker, was not.

Marley is Excited that her new reader belonged to Blake Shelton, but I am embarrassed! Im 40 and these people are my age! Parker posted along with a photo of the textbook on Facebook. Thank you to every teacher/parent/staffer/etc. for fighting for my kids education! Dont give up until education is fully funded!

The image reveals Sheldons name printed onto the front of the book, alongside the date 1982 for the year the book was used, which is why Parker saw the connection as a signal of funding issues at schools.

Yikes. There are schools are using ~40 year old textbooks.
