what Pikachu Dad means is this:
the textbooks are a HUGE RACKET, the teachers (or college professors) who teach the class write the textbook, put it on the list as required for the course and make a fortune off it. The books just for my kids’ high school courses are $500! Then next year, they put out a new edition and change a couple sentences and require everybody to buy the new one.
Still, textbooks are better than online crapola
I know what he means. I will say this. It is a fact, based upon most recent PT meeting, that if our school goes to the Ipad it won’t be because of saving money on textbooks. There is no savings, as the textbooks companies are charging just as much.
A racket like that will not give up territory nor revenue.
Heavy texts a problem?
The kids are suffering too much?
We carried ours a mile to school uphill both ways in the snow.
And weee Loved It! Weee loved it!
You got it.
