Actually the fees are used to replace the textbooks every few years. I send my kids to private Catholic School. Our book fees this year were around $400. What I would demand if paying for book rental, is that the books be in good to excellent shape. I think anything that gets the parents to invest in their child education is a good thing.

My point was we are paying twice. In taxes and fees. At a private school I would understand your position. In public schools only non-minority majorities are hit with these fees.
