Editor’s Note: For those of you who are as concerned as we are about textbooks that weigh a ton and don’t seem to contain any useful information, this is one to which some attention should be devoted. Good education, unlike salami, doesn’t come by the pound.
The North Carolina Textbook Commission will hold its Spring Planning Meeting on April 19-20 in the Edinburgh Board Room, Sheraton Greensboro Hotel at Four Seasons/Koury Convention Center, Greensboro.
