Quotes:”Let’s say there are 50 kids in a Geometry class,if your going to have a take-home set and a class set,you would need 100 books but if i only have 50,you would just have to bring it back and forth”
“When your talking about textbooks,it’s a combination of increased enrollment,we had about 200 extra kids we didn’t expect to come through the door,and we have no money to pay for books”.
“So if the department chairs prioritize which classes need textbooks the most,than they should be submitting orders to us”
“I would say that this has been an issue toward the end of last year and so far this year”
“They’re not giving us the funding we need to really do the job we need to get done,so we’re going to do the best with what we have.”
