People who write textbooks tend to be academics that are far removed from the day-to-day happenings of the classroom. Many, who were classroom teachers, did so prior to NCLB. NCLB changed the rules and nothing is the same any longer. In my opinion, if someone is writing about how things should or should not be in the classroom, and they haven't been an active k-12 teacher since NCLB, they’re fossils and should be analyzed by carbon-14 dating.
