SHORT ANSWER

I do not think turning down an extra fact check is a good ira by the board. Students are coming to school to learn and work from these textbooks and they should be reassured that they are learning the true facts and getting the best school experience. When the information is wrong in a textbook, students end up larding the wrong thing and it is hard to correct the knowledge that they have already memorized. This is why it's important to get an extra fact check on school textbooks so schools can be extra sure that their students are learning the right information. 

     I do not think that that caption is acceptable. There are two reasons it is not acceptable. The first one being that any and all information in that textbook needs to be correct. If a student reads that and this that slaves were being paid to work then he has false information about America;s past. Furthermore, students who had family members that were slaves or just feel strongly about that subject may become very offended and it will definitely disrupt their experience at school. 

     I think that textbooks should be checked by both people in the fired and staff members. People in the field will be much more knowledgable and be able to get the facts straight, but those who are just on the board will look at the finer details in my opinion. They will be more concerned about their child's and the children of others educations. 

     I do think that my textbooks are accurate for the most part. Honestly we don't use textbooks that often in any of my classes so I wouldn't know for sure. I do think though that the teachers trust them to provide us (their students) with a good education and that helps to reassure me that the information in those textbooks are accurate.
