replacing textbooks with cd's..., its pretty cool Options

[expoised]

For my chem class, we replaced the huge textbooks with cd's. we're given cd's to take home and the textbook stay in class. that's awesome... they should start doing that to all the classes.

[ethixfantazia]

That isnt fair... We still got the large text books at my school... oh well, just gotta wait till we do!! itll be sometime soon (im hoping)

[head_0ver_heels]

See...some teachers in my highschool do that and some dont..so it's like..the luck of the draw..depends on what teacher you get.

[JlIaTMK]

actually we were going to start doing it last year.... but unfortunately there wasnt enough cds for everyone

[inlonelinessidie]

OMG that would be soooo awesome! Not only does it save time you don't have to carry heavy books! Lucky you.

[Luster Soldier]

What??? Lucky you. I have 3 years left of high school...carrying books back and forth

[LiNHy POO]

oo thats cool!!! but i like the textbook better for some reason.

[glit_gal]

that is so not fair! I wish my school was all hi-tech. Where do you go to school?

[*krnxswat*]

What about the people that can't afford computers? Or just simply don't believe in them?

[laylooo]

yea! i have a chemistry book on cd too! its really kool u don't have to carry the big huge book home all the time

[LilPiggi3]

bleh...lucky you =[ ...i hate carrying textbooks in the first week of school

[Levy2k6]

i would hate cd's because then i would fall asleep listening to boring crap.

[capsule]

omfg...that sounds so awesome. sadly, my school is seriously behind technology and probably wouldnt know what a "CD" is...sigh.

[DrEaMgUy2K1]

haha nice, that would be awesome if we didnt use books heh, but then again it doesnt really matter cuz i never bring my books lol...

[inthemudhole]

Sounds cool.. but somehow I enjoy the textbooks..

[Selinda]

we've been using cds for 2 years already....BUT we still got heavy textbooks! Geez...And to be frank, cds aren't that good...they're NOT informative, and they're boring. if you only study them for exams/tests, you'll end up failing it. so NEVER try that.

[acidbreeze]

my friends brother's high school does that. i'd rather bring home a CD (less than a pound) than a huge textbook (10 lbs?) or just read the textbook online, though that may create problems for kids without internet access

[Just_Dream]

I don't like that idea. I HATE staring at the computer screen for so long if I have to spend a certain amount of time read something.. and WHAT IF someone's computer is broken? Then how would they be able to view it? There are so many pros and cons towards it lol. And most of all, a CD is smaller, it oculd get lost. Or it could get seriously damaged and that could destroy the whole entire CD. Bleh that's the bad news about it.

The GOOD NEWS is that it's lighter, you can keep it at home, and to use INTERNET ADDICTS, we can read it while we're online when we get bored and have to eventually read any of the stuff on the cd. It's very convenient when you think about it.

They should have a choice of the cd or the book to take home.

In fact, u know what's a better Idea? They should have enough copies of books to have a class set AND books for the whole school.

[MrElsewhere]

DATS EFFIN AWSOME..

i wish mai skoo had money to do dat..it would be soo koo..i could burn CD's wif songs n study at da same time too..hehe

[highly_evolved]

sounds like an interesting idea...but i think it would be easier to use atext book cause u can refer back to certain pages and i dont knwo jsut seems easier

[dani41790]

ur lucky. man they should do that for every subject cuz im tired of carrying these heavy books everyday to school.

[kimiki]

yea, I agree with ms.Just_Dream. I try avoiding reading a large sum of text when I'm at the computer. Now having to read a chapter on the computer-that's ganna kill my eyes in no time. >.<;;

[NiKECHiQ]

that seems cool i hate big ol bulky textbooks

[laur3nw]

that would be so much better if they did that to all the schools
it would be easier on our backs =P

[vehvih]

i could easier memorize if i'm going to use my ears. but when i'm going to use my eyes it's a little hard

[elmogurly]

what if you don't have a computer?...i sort of like textbooks. so we have something to whine about

[angel-roh]

damn i like that... i wish in the future, every students get a cd take home and not textbooks cause textbooks are damn heavy...some ppls have to carry 8 textbooks a day-_--;; like my friend who has all honors & AP class-_-;; felt sorry for her...

[*tweeak*]

yeah, i have that in chem too, and nothing else, but i opted to get a book instead(because we got to choose)because i dont want to pay $50something if i scratch it, even if it still works. plus i wont be able to study if the computer breaks(which it does fairly often). i am getting a friend to make me a copy though...

[enticing.]

wow... lucky you! i still have to carry around a huge book around school

[lyin_in_wait]

i agree!

[waccoon]

Hmp, my school's too cheap to do that.
