Question from Kathryn:
Is there a reason why you use McGraw-Hill over the Prentice Hall Algebra II & Trigonometry? We’re coming from Jacobs Algebra I & Geometry and I want to keep the same teaching style for my son.
Answer from Dr. Callahan:
Our view on textbooks is not to keep the same teaching style, but instead to prepare students for college and life. Therefore, our goal was to find popular college level textbooks. See

for more information on this thought.
While I am sure that having the same teaching style over and over is great for short term learning – it actually limits the students ability in the long term.
Hope this helps.
