The high cost of School Books and Uniforms

It's time to buy text books and school uniforms for the kids. I can't believe I have to pay seventy dollars for a science text book!

 A text book in Singapore probably costs S$13. One can buy 5 of those books.
 We have to buy secondhand books which are half the price of a new book, still expensive and in such horrible condition!

I don't think it's right to have to price a text book or uniform so dear.

I don't really think the new year is exciting to look forward to. I feel  for my children to have to use books that are definitely in a sorry state.
