let's take math. why do we need NEW math books? the most recent math developments taught in k-12 are probably 3 or 400 years old. My dad's math book should probably be at least accurate for what my grandkids learn. the lack of new books can hardly be blamed- plus clinton got all them schools wired to the internet didn't he? I know the internet has solid math stuff- even string theory pages- all that.

I don't think the math has changed much since the 1960s, or whenever Tom Lehrer wrote that song, but there has been progress in how to teach it.
