[quote=spdrun]Wait, so students get credit for giving the teacher something which their parents PAID for?(!) Wouldn’t that result in wealthier students getting higher grades — poorer students might borrow the book or want to re-sell it after they’re done. Sounds pretty discriminatory and bizarre.[/quote]

As bizarre as a 3rd grader coming home with ‘what does my teacher like to receive for her birthday’ writeup?
