Texas’ choice of textbooks dictates what textbooks are bought by all the states. Texas is the biggest buyer of textbooks so it controls the market of what is printed and sold throughout the country. I don’t live in TX. I’m willing to bet that textbooks in WI are the same ones sold in TX. And if they’re not, many, many other states and school districts by what Texas buys.

I thought the same thing. My grandkids in MI had different textbooks than the grandkids in WI. When I taught 5th grade we looked at a number of textbooks before we chose the ones we used.
I ‘m not sure why all states would have to buy the textbooks that Texas chooses to print. But as I’m retired & was an elementary teacher, other than the 3 yrs I taught 5th grade we didn’t
I was an elementary school teacher, not the purchaser of textbooks. Elementary children don’t have TEXTBOOKS! The teachers choose paperback reading books for their classroom libraries & to use in reading groups. Our science program was hands on activities - that did NOT REQUIRE TEXTBOOKS! Grades 1-3 had hands on science experiments & we did not teach social studies. That was taught in 4th & 5th grade. And the 3-4 yrs I taught 4th & 5th grade we did have Math, Science & Soc St Textbooks.
I didn’t teach middle or high school so have no idea what textbooks they may or may have not used!!
You appear to be incredibly ignorant about what exactly it is that the Department of Education does for the students of this country, regardless of your time spent teaching in elementary school. BTW, Elementary schools generally have math, science and English instructional texts. Teachers aren't picking them out willy nilly. You also don't seem to understand WHY the trump regime wants to kill every federal government agency or department, gut critical funding for education, and hollow out the majority of federal funding in order to benefit the billionaire oligarchs currently destroying the U.S. government. In fact, your idiotic comments repeat rightwing nonsense that only the states are in charge of education. If states lose federal funding, education in that state will suffer as a result. Funding for Special Ed and IEP's will be left up to individual states and those won't be the only cuts-even school lunch programs will be eliminated. Student college loans are also at risk, and many other programs (community colleges), that assist lower income students ability to access a college education. trump's regime wants to replace public education with privatized, extremist approved "Christian" patriotic whitewashed pablum. Educate yourself. It's all in fascist project 2025.
