    When an Oklahoma first grader found out she was using the same textbook as country music star @blakeshelton, she was excited. Her mother wasn't. http://cbsn.ws/2H4CFLe pic.twitter.com/8aTacEdRJx

        Blake Sheldon is 41 years old. The fact that a 1st grader in Oklahoma is using the same book to educate in the U.S. of America is a Koch brothers dream come true to keep you uneducated.

        Yes, I agree, why should a first grader in 2018 be using an obsolete textbook. Shelton is 41 years old, so the textbook has to be, at least 35 years old. That is ridiculous. Textbooks should be renewed at the minimum of every 10 years.

        New textbooks are a waste of money unless there are significant changes in the material contained within it.

        If they’re real changes (not just new covers, page order, font style, book layout, etc) then getting new ones might be warranted depending on what the changes are. The other question is if the textbook is actually used. Buying new books that aren’t used is ridiculous.

        Hey what's wrong with that? If my niece or God-daughter was using the same textbook as their songster hero I'd be delighted-and I don't give a hoot what the teacher thought!

        If you read the story , the mom is upset because the books are 30 years old. Schools are underfunded

        Here in Oz we also get educationers whining for more money, and no doubt some need it, if only in the staff room they would be more subtle (I was once a tutor and overheard this) confirming sex parties with the designated tea-lady as maitre-de. Quality teachers, please.

        School funding has nothing to do with that book. It's a separate issue.
