[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Textbooks are expensive, go out of date quickly and need to be repurchased every year or two. 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] Untrue for most subjects. Math textbooks from 50 years ago are just as accurate now as then, to give a trivial example. Even in physics, all the basic HS level stuff is 90+% the same as 25 years ago. Math has not changed. Physics changed only slightly and only at the bleeding edge - college and grad school levels. Possibly the claim is true for a current events course or in some quite narrow way (e.g., genetic biology). [/quote]
