One of my teachers has taken an entire textbook and made paper photo copies of every page and given all of the students them in huge packets. we were given a brand new book but his excuse was he "didn't like the format of the new book" so he just uses the old one which our school is short of copies because its obviously outdated. He basically told us the new book is "no good" and that we should "take it home and just stuff it under our bed." Its really frustrating to have these photo-copied book especially when its in an AP class. A very hard one at that... But i'm just curious, i'm not gonna rat him out or anything, i just want to know why a teacher would do this, and if its right. Also, does this mean he's not correctly following a curriculum that could potentially make the material in the class easier to understand? Because, obviously if my teacher tells us to disregard a book given to us by the district then there is something going on, right?
should i do something about this?
