From the Paper:

"In the past, the wisdom regarding the use of out of date textbooks and materials in core subjects has met with some debate. Although some assert that as core subjects, many of the principles remain relatively static, there can be little doubt that many materials can either lapse in content or accuracy over time. Of course, the greatest examples can often be found in the "hard" sciences, as well as the social and political sciences. However, even in the more "static" core areas (at least in the K-12 levels), including mathematics, English, and language arts, there exists a possibility of missing subject focus trends (a factor that can significantly affect test scores and performance), as well as new contributions and methods designed to further student skill-acquisition."
