What does a teacher do when the textbook doesn’t cover what it’s supposed to? She simply writes a new one.
Graeme College Maths and Accounting teacher Morgan White has written no fewer than 18 textbooks in the past three years.
“It started off in 2018, when I was photocopying accounting notes I’d made for my class,” White said.
There was limited content on accounting for Grade 8 and 9 – leaving an enormous gap in these fundamentals that reared its head in Grade 10.
“It’s only in Grade 10 that Accounting is taught as a proper subject – but we were finding first, that very few kids were choosing accounting and, second, many of those who did lacked the accounting basics.
