textbook education

Learning something intellectually, as from written or verbal instruction, rather than learning through actual experience.

Although he had received a very thorough textbook education in how to deliver a baby, the intern had no hands-on experience with actual childbirth.

Textbook Jockey

Someone who knows nothing except what they have learnt in textbooks. They are closed minded insincere and backwards thinking.

Girl 1: How did your therapy session go yesterday?

Guy: It was a waste of time, just another textbook jockey... She was literally reading me questions straight from her computer.

Textbook

A book of text, or words
A schoolbook

That book which your teacher gives you to copy problems and questions out of for homework
Also known to weigh way too much
Sometimes will have answers at the end, but only the odd ones (like in Common Core)

My school gave me a textbook but I lost it so I had to pay like 50 bucks.

My textbook is so heavy that I leave it at home so I don’t have to carry it.
