I see a lot of sympathy in the comments you are getting. Yet I was asked to comment on "the whole thing" about expensive textbooks. It is caused by a combination of several factors, 1) copyright law, a wholly baseless legal fabrication; 2) government management of education for choosing the textbook, an example of inefficiency; 3) specialized information to a small market, a valuable service; and 4) high taxation upon book producers, and producers in general, because the government is greedy.

and thank you for asking if she was going the college route or doing other things - most people just ask what college, rather than if they are doing college at all - it's so annoying.

Hey! Congratulations to Kelly! Will she be off to college in the Fall, or exploring other possibilities?

Student-run book co-ops are a possible alternative, especially if you can get faculty support for them. I always check prices before I assign a textbook, and when the new version is just a re-shuffle of the old one, I tell students to get whatever edition is cheapest. IT IS SUCH A RACKET! BTW, you do look breathtakingly lovely in this video, without even trying, I am sure :-)

my sister is in high school (graduating this week!) and she doesn't have to pay for textbooks - they just give her what she needs and she returns it at the end of the year. i would have appreciated that in high school *sigh* i'd just give mine to the school, but the teachers don't want them using old editions. and thank you for telling me i'm gorgeous :) *big hug*
Don't know why you're complaining about the cost of the textbooks. Where I'm from, we get them for free. I expected you to like complain the size and weight of it.
