Parents- Our school has adopted Go Math as the curriculum to support students learning common core math. Go Math only provides consumable Worktexts to purchase. Our administration is having 4th-8th grade treat the consumable text as a non consumable to save money. Basically, the children are not allowed to write in the interactive text during guided instruction in class and are required to transfer the complicated problems onto a sheet of paper. Precious instructional time is wasted and many problems get lost in translation, confusing the children and altering their focus. Many of us feel this is compromising the instruction. Many of us have expressed that we trust our tuition to go towards our children having access to basic materials such as using the adopted curriculum as it was designed. Please sign and pass along this petition so it can be presented to those making these decisions. Compromised materials leads to compromised learning...Please sign by Tuesday, September 20th at noon
Thanks for your consideration,

The response to this petition has demonstrated a collective commitment to ensuring our children have the appropriate tools for their education. This momentum confirms that our request for the proper use of interactive materials resonates with many families. We are preparing to present these concerns to the administration to advocate for a change in current policy.

I wouldn't mind paying for it ( if it is not already included in the tuition ) since it would save time, and for those of us that have our children in extracurricular activities you know how precious every minute is in the evenings.
I feel it would help.kiera to be able to write in a workbook while having additional instruction with the affiliated textbook.
I would like for the parents the option to buy a book to write in. Also for most of the Math portion to be done in class, less homework. Parents should be allowed to observe at any time, then make an appointment to see both teacher and principal privately.
