Why do you use Apologia Science textbooks?

Right now, many schools follow tNext Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and use inquiryHub or iHub and Storylines.  Here is a sample.  I like to understand educational trends.  But, I’ve been trained and taken part in enough programs, such as Project Based Learning (PBL), I am cautious. It’s interested in phenomena and new labs, such as Yeast Fermentation.  But, I am always leary of an agenda.  Where do you fit Biomolecules or Comparative Morphology?  Instead, I’m sticking to a traditional, Biology program and using Apologia.  Do I plan to add labs, exercises, POGIL, and concept maps?  Yes!  But, I won’t adopt a program which carves away huge elements of a traditional Biology course.
