With nearly no opportunity for discussion, the island's 80,000 primary school teachers were simply told that they must change. As one primary teacher recalls: "They didn't tell us until summer vacation that we had to hold meetings to discuss purchasing new textbooks. Actually, because we had to have books ready for the students as soon as the next semester began, the school went ahead and ordered textbooks anyway."
全國八萬多名國小教師幾乎是未經過充分討論，就已被告知要改變了，「暑假才通知我們要辦選購教科書的研討會，但為了趕開學後學生有書可用，學校已決定好了教科書版本」，一位國小老師說。
