Textbooks have interpretation

It had never occurred to me that textbooks have their own perspective on how events happened and what piece leading up to, during, or after the event was more significant. Students should be aware that there is a perspective but it does not matter if they have the right teacher. A good teacher should not be reliant on textbooks but should merely use them as guides. I have had teachers who use textbooks in the extreme both ways. One teacher used the entire class period everyday to have the students read the section, or sections, and then have the questions at the end answered. Then some teachers do not even use the textbook at all. Admittedly it happens much more frequently with professors in college but it still happens at the K-12 levels, even if it is more rare. In the former example students are only getting the perspective of their textbook writers while the latter are only getting the perspective of their teachers. This is fine if the teacher gives various perspectives, like any good teacher should, but not fine if the teacher is only giving their perspective of a chain of events. It should never be assumed that every perspective can be covered because there is not enough time within an academic year. However if various perspectives are given and the teacher acknowledges there are other perspectives, the student will receive a much better education than that of the student who just reads textbooks all class.
