I absolutely think that there is a better way to educate than tests and textbooks...however I'm certain we haven't found the perfect formula, and videos and chromebooks significantly worse. Different is not better.

Genuine question: why? Specifically, why with textbooks?

Even if textbooks are suboptimal, they’re the way a lot of human information is organized. Just developing the skill of being able to work through a textbook is probably massively productive.

I picked "tests and textbooks" mostly due to the alliteration, and the association with traditional education methods.

The comment was also a bit facecios. I'd be surprised if we have arrived at the absolute best way to do anything - so of course there will be some better way to educate.
