Skitty vs Textbook

I have been through my fair share of textbooks in my life and I have to say that I have met my match. I didn't think it was possible, but I have found the most horrible textbook in America. What's worse is that I have to rely on it to pass my class. Usually when I read a textbook I am by far not excited to read it, but at least most of them are understandable and I can get through it quickly without having to stop every few seconds to feel my eyebrow twitch at every sentence.

This textbook had the exterior of Disneyland and the interior of a prison cell. The colorful cover page was a huge misleading factor about the inside of this book. The book was plain. There were hardly any charts or graphs to explain the topics better (horrible if you are a visual learner like me). The insides were strictly black, white, and gray in coloring and there were rows upon rows of text. Of course, I am used to that. That did not bug me. What bugged me was the way they presented the information in the textbook. The way they presented the information was absolutely horrible. They tried to cram in so much information into one sentence that I couldn't help but feel my eyebrow twitch during every page. It was so horrible that I couldn't even make it past the middle of the chapter. I HAD to stop. It was too much to try to interpret and make sense of EVERY single sentence in that chapter. At times, I would sit there and stare at the ceiling and wonder if this was a punishment from the divines of Heaven or any other religion hell out there. 


Books are meant to help you understand information. They are not meant to make the information feel so complex that you need a master's degree to make sense of it all. It wasn't that I was reading a dictionary throughout 1/3 of a single chapter, but they were just trying to cram in too much stuff into one single sentence.


Example:
When a misbehavior (a negative behavior that is not wanted) is becoming too much (means that it's too much for the teacher to handle), then the teacher should use targeted behaviors (a specific behavior)....etc.
(The information above was what I made up in order to give people an idea of how ridiculous this textbook is.)


Yes, they did that with every sentence. They kept placing parenthesis in EVERY sentence adding in more crap to explain one single word. What's worse is that the explanations for that ONE single word was even more complex than if you just tried to google it on the internet. What makes this whole situation worse is that my college professor is one of those types that HEAVILY relies on this piece of trash they call a textbook. So eventually I am going to have to sit one day and fight with it again. Hopefully the later chapters won't make me want to throw this textbook half-way across the world. May God, or whoever, save me from this piece of crap!!!
