+236 It would be so much better if math textbooks were like binders. You could pop open the rings and take home just the pages you need for homework, not all five thousand heavy pages of hardcover book, amirite?

They're still numbered. You can put them back in order.

we keep our math textbooks at home and only use them to do homework assignments

I disagree because if you take home like 3 sheets of paper home every day and try to put them back everyday, I guarantee that soon everything`s gonna be messed up, sheets will be lost and the whole textbook would be out of order. I like the idea though.

I had a math textbook like that. It was great.

Having been a teacher myself and knowing many students' reliability for such things, I have to say no, it's better it all stays together in one book - the better solution might be to just split the book into two parts. When I was a kid, my textbooks were never heavy because they were split into A and B, makes for a lighter load.

Knowing me I'd rip and crumple the pages, which would suck for the people who used it after me.

I think it's be best if they split them into volumes. Obviously it wouldn't be convenient for storage, but if there was a math book for each "Unit" in the regular math book and after every test you exchanged it with your teacher for a new one, it could work.

Pretty much what I was saying too. Right on!
