Why post a table of
exp(ln(a)+ln(b))
who'd use that

On a related note, I often help Little Ms. Admin to work out the answers to her homework and last night we were doing English. She had 10 example sentences with four boxes under selected words where she had to place an A, B, C or D for the relative noun, verb, adjective or adverb. We worked through them and got to number nine and got stuck. We checked and double-checked and couldn't distinguish the four distinct words she needed to identify, at least not with the words that the boxes pointed it. So we Googled it. Turns out the same sheet is available for download at lots of sites and when compared to the one my daughter had been given, they all pointed to a different word for the adjective on question nine.

I wrote a note for the teacher so they could either correct the sheet or avoid using it again, and Little Ms. Admin was quite pleased with her self that she'd managed to correctly identify the adjective despite the sheet being wrong. Confidence building stuff this homework lark.

Must admit since our kids have started school, I've had them doing a few sections of ixl each week. Its a paid for maths website, with lots of sections in each year. You can do one section free before being reminded to pay.
Its amazing the number of times our cache has to be cleared while we're using it. Must be bad programming on their side to produce all those annoying pop ups .

This is not quite what you said above - you cannot copy a whole textbook.

These are the copyright laws, and they do apply in schools and everywhere else.

Also, see this page: http://schools.cla.co.uk/copyright-resources-for-schools/how-to-avoid-infringing-copyright/

The CLA licence is a way of estimating how many pages from which publications schools have copied - there is a pot of money that is dealt out to authors and publishers twice a year to recompense them from lost sales due to this copying. So even the 'free' copying is not really free.

and assumes that the school owns copies of all the text books that teachers have purchased that teachers wish to use to provide lessons with.
