DD1 started secondary in September. I am rather surprised that she has not come home with any textbooks. Are they an endangered species these days?

No, no textbooks in our school either (I was rather surprised too, but quite glad as I still have bad memories of hauling ten ton physics text books over hill and dale...)

Yes DD has a science and french textbooks. Bit annoyed really as it just adds a lot of extra weight to the bag

ds1 is in yr8. He has never bought a textbook home for anything.

Homeworks are either:
explained in the class and students write it down
a handout is given out in class (and then explained)
or are online homeworks using one of the various platforms used by different subjects in school (Sam learning, moodle, linguascope, etc.)
