Every college has a plethora of databases to use for their students, so the sources are more reliable and valid. I was told that students can just use the Internet. Wow, and you blame the teachers for not preparing kids for college. And seriously, a teacher should NEVER have to worry about copies, especially since class sets of books or materials usually contain 25 of each, yet many teachers have 30 or more. When I told a friend who was thinking of putting her daughter into dcps that students don't read entire books as we only have class sets, she was shocked. The problem is that the schools with the most resources have parents who will buy them for their kids. These parents have more clout with Vitti, but they don't ask for change because their kids are doing great and have all they need. Conversely, a whole part of jax is disenfranchised; Vitti won't listen to them or the teachers in those schools. On top of that, don't even get me started on the lack of media centers. I have not been able to use one in 2 years, the time Vitti has been here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
