There is an exception in current US copyright law ("fair use") that allows for the use, without permission, of copyrighted material for certain purposes (scholarship, criticism, review, news reporting, etc).

However US Copyright Law also sets out criteria that has to be considered before something can be judged to be "fair use"

# The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes
# The nature of the copyrighted work
# The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole
# The effect of the use upon the potential market for, or value of, the copyrighted work

Yes, a teacher can photocopy material from a textbook for educational purposes under the doctrine of fair use. However, there are limits to the amount that can be copied, typically no more than 10% of the total work. It's important to ensure that proper citation is provided to the original source.

Why do you have to read text books?

Textbooks have been an education tool for a long time. They are highly informative and present material in a fashion that is different from an instructor or teacher. Everyone learns differently, and while some people find teachers to be an effective way of learning, others find that books are easier to learn from, because they can re-read a paragraph, (as opposed to asking the teacher to repeat something.) they can look up a word they don't understand, they can look back on previous chapters, and they can carry a textbook around with them. A textbook might also be more to-the-point, depending on your teacher. Usually a textbook will reiterate what an instructor has taught you, and reading it will help to understand the material thoroughly.
