    Personally I think it would be more efficient to give each kid an $80 kindle or tablet, which can be used their whole school life, and use free textbooks. Then maybe have those families that can afford it pay back the cost (which would only need to be $7 per year). Apparently the current method isn't working since we are paying for prisons and welfare anyway.

    $20 a month for access and then you could get the textbooks for free... or $200+ per book, per student, per class. Which is cheaper?

    Here is an excellent resource for homeschooling (not that it sounds like you need it, but I'm a huge fan): http://www.ck-12.org/ (Free, professionally authored textbooks). You can print them as PDFs, and they also have versions for the iPad, Kindle, etc.

    Yep. Notice that a publishing house is providing the materials instead of the awesome CK-12 organization. Farking. Scam.
