As long as they are paying attention to the lesson, I can't complain. Heck, 11-year-olds are great problem solvers.
If your teachers have a problem with sharing, have them supply a few extra books in class. I know on my campus there are always places we find extra books sitting around. Or, have them call me!  |
I did that last year, but its really hard for me to do since I'm a fast reader, so I end up sitting around waiting for the other person to finish. It would only work in my Physics class, anyway, since that is the only classroom in a lab (where we have tables rather than individual desks).
The problem with the class sets is that since our school is new, we have all new textbooks, and there are literally none left over. We had the same situation last year, and we did end up getting class sets, but not until March, when the extras for the class below us came in (our class is around 700 people, the class below us is around 950, and the class below them is around 1200).
Do you teach 6th grade? My sister just started it.
