[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Textbooks are expensive, go out of date quickly and need to be repurchased every year or two.[/b] Schools have shifted to being a free for all. It's a disaster. You would think that private schools, with much more money than publics, would be willing to spend some of that tuition money on textbooks, but unfortunately they are more focused on their endowments and facilities. It's a sad day.[/quote]

Not the case for math, science and most of history.  My DD (public in IL) has textbooks for math and science, and workbooks with a lot of text material in them but also allow for writing in them, for science and grammar/word study.  The math textbooks don't come home unless you request it, but usually if you request it, you can keep one at home for the year rather than bring back and forth.  And they have a classroom set.  I think it's hugely valuable and I am trying to show her how to really use it to refer to examples when she's having a hard time with a problem.

For my high schooler, they have very few textbooks, but I got a hand me down math textbook and I ordered world history from online.
