1st grade text books

When did they start sending text books home in the 1st grade?? Brody came home with a science text book that needed to be covered so that he could take it back to school tomorrow to use in class. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't remember bringing books home when I was in 1st grade. Its so cute though. He's all excited because he feels like a big boy with actual homework. I know that attitude will wear off soon enough, but hopefully he can stay excited until 5th grade at least! :)

That’s just the way it is in the United States. It all comes down to the education style being used in the States. It is all about tests and memorizing information so the information can be regurgitated for a standardized test.

You should be glad that your child has a text book and is able to go to school and learn. There are so many children out there that are not even afforded the opportunity to go school much less have a text book.
