Granted, some of these books can be used over three semesters but she spent close to a grand! And this is for a BN. I shudder to think when she works on her Masters in Nursing(anesthesiology...she would like to pass gas!)Mike Thiachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02929567856363413549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-2582029865067060642014-08-21T21:06:14.280-07:002014-08-21T21:06:14.280-07:00That *does* explain things!That *does* explain things!Darrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15730642770935985796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-38233581424881765332014-08-21T19:51:20.991-07:002014-08-21T19:51:20.991-07:00Private school.Private school.Auntie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777983027361603449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-45125801958126193492014-08-21T17:59:49.340-07:002014-08-21T17:59:49.340-07:00Why does a 9th grader have to buy textbooks?Why does a 9th grader have to buy textbooks?Darrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15730642770935985796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-4492130725867391332014-08-21T14:32:58.735-07:002014-08-21T14:32:58.735-07:00Everybody was thrilled when my college physics wav...Everybody was thrilled when my college physics waves course use a Dover paperback classic textbook. It was in a similar price range. I learned to love the Dover classics!<br /><br />Our 9th grader picked up her books yesterday, one of which was $180. I went online and bought a used copy at Amazon for about $45. We'll be returning the $180 one for full refund. She got assigned another big expensive book, but, unfortunately, they just came out with a new edition so there are no used ones to buy.Auntie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777983027361603449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-49913506988002689712014-08-20T19:52:54.009-07:002014-08-20T19:52:54.009-07:00Wow--that's a cheap textbook!
