    Hippiegirl...I will ask a couple of teacher friends the cost of textbooks in their respective schools...but in the meantime I've googled some information for you.

    For a general idea...the first link breaks down Gov't contributions and towards the bottom of the page it shows the student's individual cost for each grade in 2015.

    This second link speaks of a large increase in textbook pricing in 2018.

    And, the third link below is from October 2020. This information speaks of the Covid pandemic and that the Gov't is helping with the textbook and ebook costs.
