7. "I don't want to generalize because I don't want to
insult people who are working hard to make those
resources," Larkin said of textbooks, "but they're
pretty much outdated the minute they're printed and
certainly by the time they're delivered. The bottom

much more relevant materials.“- Principal Patrick Larkin

 “By comparison, Brookfield High in Connecticut estimates it
spends at least that much yearly on every student's
textbooks, not including graphing calculators, dictionaries
and other accessories they can get on the IPads.”
