wah.. what if the student came from a poor / low income family ? what will happen to him or her ?
Remember what happened when they offered free school text books sometimes ago?
yeah, the middle-income group went to coped it.:thumbsd:
can get 2nd hand Textbooks from seniors?
I used to do that when I was in Sec school, as long as the school is still using the same edition. Best is get from those seniors who take notes then can get 'tips' and take afford to copy less notes in class.
Then after that pass on to the juniors after that. It was pretty common practice in my school at that time. Promotes "sisterly-bond" too! (i graduated from a girl school.)
hmmm ... no wonder I always sleep during classes in my sec school days :think: ... coz don't need to take notes myself!!! :sweatsm:
you can't blame the middle/middle-low income group. they are probably the most squeezed group in our society.
how much is the scientific calculator ? i remember my time i used one cost $28, casio model fx380 something..
Y so expensive? I think max should be like $200... For me,not necessary to get all the exercise books etc... get them when teacher needs them.During sec 1,I bought 10 exercise books,teacher never used even one.
for world class education, you need world class text books to bring out the best in the world class teachers so that your child gets world class knowledge mah... :think:

My school books last yr (I study in ACS(Indep) ) costed me close to 200... no where near than 371 bucks. Answering the ques on what happens... you have to get a loan from one of the fianance companies. I am the 'pioneering' batch who is using the Tablet PC... Going sec 2 next yr.... one of the worst batches in the school!

ask u an honest question , do u think u really need that tablet PC to study and pass exams ? it cost 2k ! i mean it is not 200 ! and will u utilize it fully until your O levels are over ?
why loan ? didn't our education system should be teaching us to be financially wise ?
