4. Our social studies department only uses them occasionally.

Some students don't have computers or internet access at home so they give them alternative assignments and some students have lost internet privileges for various EIS violations.

I rarely, very very rarely use our textbook and the only reason I use it then is to justify that we bought them four years ago -- it's pure politics. I would have rather spent the money other ways but I'm a little fish with little voice in the matter.
