Requiem pelo manual escolar

Poucos dias depois de ter lido no Público que um aluno do 7º Ano de escolaridade pode gastar mais de 150 euros pelos manuais adoptados, leio este post no Infinite Thinking Machine que me parece fazer todo o sentido. Um extracto:

Rather than continue to perpetuate this age-old pattern of purchasing behavior in our schools, it's time to declare a moratorium on textbook purchases.

The day of the paper-based textbook is over. The era of digital curriculum has dawned, and it is fiscally irresponsible for school district leaders to continue to purchase paper-based curriculum materials in light of the digital curriculum resources now available and continuing to become available via electronic means. Digital, web-based curriculum materials are vastly superior to static, analog/paper based curriculum materials for many reasons.
