Only ONE publisher eligible to supply FL textbooks now. Guess who??

16. Which is dramatically different from what was claimed

"has resulted in only ONE publisher of textbooks in the country, Houston-based Accelerated Learning to be eligible to supply books to the State of Florida, out of ALL of the publishers of textbooks in the country!"

vs. "One publisher was selected for one subject for K-5" - (in a subject that has almost nothing to do with the issues under debate)


It's also not all that unusual. K-5 math is probably the most sequential set of textbooks out there. By which I mean that it really matters what was in the 2nd grade textbook before you select the 3rd grade textbook. I would imagine that most counties have a single publisher's textbooks for K-5 math so that if you transfer from one school to another within the county... you don't have a gap in the curriculum.
