Do children need textbooks in the class!

Should children carry textbooks to schools? Is classroom meant for reading textbooks? Do children learn anything more by bringing textbooks to the class? What is the use of textbooks in the class?

In the class, let them learn by listening to teachers, discussing, and taking notes. Let teachers do the job. Encourage more discussion, asking questions. Encourage students to ask questions.

Teachers can give reference to the pages and chapter in textbooks for the day's portion and students can note it down in their notebook so that they can read textbooks at home. If this is given in advance, they can come to class after reading the portion in advance.

If students study looking or reading textbooks in the class, then it is better to do homeschooling.

My child carry a bag with full of notebooks and textbooks which weighs more than one-fourth of his body weight!

Today, The Times of India carried on its front page a news regarding Kerala High Court's notice to the centre on heavy schoolbags. 

CBSE already have a directive in place to reduce the weight of school bags, but it is never followed by many schools.
