As a teacher, you should know the answer to this one ... but I'll reiterate.
Textbooks are essentially controlled by three companies therefore there is little to no competition AND only two states buy the majority of the books, Texas and California.
Here's a very interesting article on the problem:

However, I hope that YOU use better wording and grammar in your classroom than you did in this question!
Probably because they are aiming at a reading population that uses expressions like "Suck so bad." Poor choice of words and grammatically incorrect
Because, the texts have nothing to do with "teaching the test!" And you know exactly what I mean by that!
NO money!
not all of them do, its how much money your district or funding source has to spend on books, some schools can afford nice text books because the area the school is in is nicer and the budget is higher and there are some areas where the population is poor and uneducated an the budget is usually smaller due to that
Wow. I think the Americans have "watered" down the education system to some extent. Books you guys use are way easier to understand but they carry less information than the ones we use here in the caribbesn. You as a teacher has tthe power to do something about those poor text book then they will start to manufacture better ones. THINK THINK THINK.
Ok, no offense (since you yourself are a teacher) but the reason is because textbooks are written by teachers.
they suck because the books are based on the opinion of the author, the publisher is owned by the government, which is obviously based on deciet, pick up a history book lately?? misinformation.
Shouldn't that be "suck so badly"?
RT's stupid. It's like one guys in my class's view that nobody speaks french (which implies that a bunch of american french teachers invented the language with all it's grammatical rules and such).
