Why are you using older textbooks? Why aren’t you using Saxon for Algebra I?

 Rob and I use older textbooks all the time to teach Co-op classes.  (We bought used books whenever possible when we home-schooled Lacie and Paul, too.)  The main reason for using older textbooks is that they are cheaper.  In Algebra I we’re using the Glencoe series.  (BTW there are newer editions nearly as cheap.). I wanted a math textbook with graphing calculator exercises and support materials, such as these resource masters.  Why not Saxon Math?  Saxon Math was fine for Paul.  However, Lacie struggled for over a year with Saxon until I switched textbooks.  Glencoe is widely used in the U.S.  I think the material works well for most students.
