I have been a Primary teacher for about 2 years now. We just got a new Primary Pres. and at a meeting we had she said that we should only be using material that has been approved by the Church. At first I thought to myself "yeah-right" as I had relied greatly on the supplemental material that you can buy at Deseret Book. But then she said that since that material is sold for profit, if you use them, you won't have the same spirit that you would have if you just used church-approved materials. Such as the Friend and what-not. This was about last December, and since then I haven't used any of the other material, and I found out that she was right! My class is much more attentive and respectful. Since then I have been only using the church-approved FHE manual for our FHE's and I found the same thing. The spirit is much sweeter. What is your opinion on this? Do you think it's necessary to use church-approved material only?
