[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 460249, member: 1233"] I cannot help but wonder WHY it is such a BFD to get a copy of the books to have at home for kids like ours? Someone in the new admin or different team of teachers that thank you has at the Middle school actually has a brain. They get home copies of a couple of their books. There is a classroom set, and kids don't carry them around. I asked about it and they said it dramatically lowered the number of lost books, of kids saying they left a book at school and then being let in to go to a locker and get it but actually just stealing things and vandalising, etc.... If it becomes a hassle to get a copy of any of the texts, or just another thing to have to do battle over, get difficult child to write down the ISBN number or go to the class and ask to see the book and write it down yourself. check [url]www.abebooks.com[/url]. amazon marketplace and [url]www.alibris.com[/url] and you may be able to get a copy for very little money. I just got a copy of a computer boo husband watned for $12.50 off amazon marketplace - most places had it used for $30-$40 and new for over $100. In past years I have used those sites to get copies of all the textbooks a kid needed for $30-$50 including shipping. Most were much nicer than the school's copies. [/QUOTE]
