Why is this? Part of me says that text book companies are
spending thousands of dollars developing their materials so it
should be GREAT!

As a teacher I want a certain amount of "ownership" for my
materials and I'm perfectly okay with tweaking and researching.
But for classes that are taught over and over again throughout the
nation, don't you think someone could provide some really
outstanding lessons?

The great lessons I find are on other teacher websites. While
those lessons are most appreciated, they do not include
"everything" you need. My hope and prayer is to teach the same
classes next year as this year. They will burn me out if I end up
with yet another new prep.
