[etni] English textbooks ready, but only in pieces

English textbooks ready, but only in pieces
CTV.ca - May 29, 2009

There's more frustration and confusion about English textbooks in Quebec 
after the education department informed school boards that some books will 
only arrive chapter by chapter this fall.

The Montreal teachers association is upset, saying they can't properly do 
their jobs without complete textbooks.

"It's unacceptable to give it to us in pieces," Ruth Rosenfield of the 
Montreal Teachers' Association told CTV News on Friday.

"We want the whole thing. I'm not asking for icing, cherries, or whatever on 
top. Just give us the textbooks and teacher guides."

Rosenfield says that she would rather the department delay the new books 
altogether until it can send the complete set of materials.

Quebec has been revising the materials for the past 10 years as it phases in 
education reforms.

English teachers and school boards have complained about delays in getting 
English textbooks into the classroom.
