Ughhh
I hate fucking school books,
My students get their books from the school, they got a 2014 edition, I got them from my employer, I got the 2019 edition.

"How different could they be?"
Totally different, the chapters are in a different order(Who learns classes before loops and conditions???) everything is different. "Okay", you might say, "surely it's just just a few pages prior or later right?"
No!
"So open your books on page 69(lol)" *Starts explaining*
Students: *Look confused* "ehm, Soldier? Are you sure that's the right page? I don't see the table"
Me: "Lemme check I'm not wrong" *Looks at the book* "Yeah, page 69, you see the table at the bottom?"
Student: "No?" *Shows me book*
Me: "Wait, that's not what I have, can you show me the book?"
*Looks at book, it's a completely different subject and chapter*
*Goes to ToC, finds the place where the table is*
It's on page fucking 98, this happens for a few more times.
"Okay forget the book, I guess I'l just draw everything on the board for now."

Fuck you book publishers or whoever is responsible for this cashgrab of planned obsolescence.

    I think it’s kinda obvious but just use one of the student’s book?

    Also, fuck this world order!

    @neriald I can't because that would require me taking it home(where else do you think I prepare before the lesson), and you can't just take students' property...
    So that's not a solution.

    @SoldierOfCode yeah, you’re right. I didn’t think about preparation aspect of it.

    how about instead of page numbers navigating by chapter names?

    Ah yes. Just like history books that have a new edition every year. For all the amazing discoveries made about the roman emperors on a yearly basis.
