We recieved our copy of Exploring Creation with Astronomy 2 weeks ago.  We have science books for the next couple years...But...Now that the Internation Astronomical Union General Assembly in Prague decided Pluto doesn't fit the criteria to be a planet and we have only 8 planets in our solar system, what will this do to our science texts?  What will all the major text book suppliers do?  Will they change all the text books?  Will the ones we have that we like and want to reuse for our up coming children, some who may not even be school age yet, be obsolete?  Do we need to purchase new text books next year because of this change?  What about selling our used text books, will anyone want to buy them since they call Pluto a planet?  I asked a lot of questions of which only one of them I really want an answer.  The question I am interested in is the one about the curriculum companies and if they are going to edit their text books.  I don't want to get sucked into the "this is a new and improved text" when in reality the only change is the Pluto issue.  I have seen some companies only change the front cover then market the new edition and people think they have to have it because we think new automatically means improved.  The truth for me is, if they only change the Pluto thing I will continue to use my used-not-new editions because I can tell my children of the Pluto change myself.
