Being a professor, I can tell you most textbooks suck. The quality of the education in the course depends much more on the professor than on what book they use.

Not at all, Professor.
My point is that there must be a basis for instruction and text books are generally the basis.
A student does NOT have 100% of your time and effort (you must admit) and even when I had very small classes myself (of say less than ten people) we were limited sometimes on how much time we COULD spend on a particular point. Sometimes we were not.
Even so - that time you can not spend with them might best be used in reading other books (including a text book in question) in an attempt to further their knowledge...
No?
