My brother-in-law is a Principal. I enjoy his stories about the lobbying that goes on by text book companies. They fly people to Vegas (or somewhere similar), wine and dine them, and sell them books. Huge money in that business.
I teach part-time at the local community college. The price of text books in the student book store is outrageous. The first thing I tell my students is: Go to www.mysimon.com and enter in the ISBN number for this textbook. You should be able to save 40% on the price of the book. In this technology age, I would love school system to go to online textbooks. New content could be added on the fly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Macromedia ColdFusion MX7 Upgrade to MX7 & experience time-saving features, more productivity. http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion?sdid=RVJW Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:231973 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
