Haha that had me going for a second. On a side note, some of the books in Tigard are in the same condition as the one in the picture.

I did what Olivia C. did. But was so confused researched it here's a link, that while bias shows that this situation is not happening. http://www.elocallink.tv/clients3/al/montgomery2009/tourplay.php?movie=montal10edu_rev1_iwd&spon=educatio

That got me, too. It took me a while. I first realized something was up when one of the students said that they needed "Introduction to civics" to study for math, but someone else was using it for chemistry. Obviously you can't study for chemistry and math from a book about civics, right?

Wow... I believed that. I guess I skimmed over the important bits about using a civics book for chemistry and math. That'll teach me to read carefully, because I feel pretty dumb at the moment.

You got me, Carlisle! I thought that this story was real until I checked out the comments.

If that were real I would feel sorry for the huge class sizes trying to all read the same page at the same time huddled in a little corner together...
