Almost certainly broader and deeper, but probably harder to
understand. Our articles aren't really aimed at primary school
children. Textbooks focus on just what school children are expected to
study, which makes them far easier to teach from. I don't think
Wikipedia will ever replace textbooks, that is Wikibooks job.
Wikipedia will be used for school research projects.
