The cost of textbooks and readers is getting higher and higher each year (E.g. $81 for a music textbook). Some items are not necessary to purchase. How can we reflect our concern to the school and affect the choice of textbooks? I hope the teachers can design some notes and studying materials for some subjects like music, Mandarin and Computing.

101% agree....

我都唔明點解可以年年加，我哋人工只有減薪同湅薪，但啲書價仲升得快過我啲血壓，計落一個小朋友要成2,xxx，我兩個加埋成$5000....想死>-<

KTS doesn't give us a choice. We either buy the whole set through the school or we buy everything ourselves. Why can't we choose not to buy certain items? I hate to buy those CDs as my daughter never use them. She chucked them into the drawer straight after they were given by the teacher.

我想學校有時只是想容易D處理, 不會那麼亂, 有時又想著幫繁忙嘅家長, 集體代購, 以取優惠, 不是故意的, 但有時針實在沒有兩頭利, 大家現在亦想著環保, 所以我想唯有將沒用的轉送他人, 又或也可向校反映, 以求取得平衡吧, 相信學校也會接受的.

Oh. Was it very troublesome to buy from bookstore? The store doesn't usually have ALL the books and exercises at once.

My girl will be P1 this coming Sept. I want to know is some books or items are no need at school? If so, then I will buy later to see whether my girl really need or not.

Thank you.

:nothing: if 'need' means whether
1 it WILL be asked to bring to school; or
2 it WILL be based upon when doing assignment or being tested;

then CDs MAY not be needed (if the kids don't need them for learning mandarin pronounication, etc. but bear in mind Chinese dictations are in mandarin). some storybooks MAY not be needed (i've forgotten which ones, as there're a no. of storybooks on the book list), but each yr the 'need' may be a bit different.

let me add a word, CDs MAY be useful for some kids/parents.

and :nothing: after late Aug or Sept, some items (in particualr unpopular ones) may be relatively difficult to be found in bookstores, as textbook stores may not refill their stocks

I place order at 天利行 and they will call me if the books are available. It's ok for me as my house is just 5 min walk to this book store. However, I couldn't order 1 reading book called "三國演義 (導讀版)" this year.

Of course, it should be more convenient to order all the books at school but I don't want to order all the reading books if I can reserve it from library.

That's why I said the CDs are no use FOR ME (ONLY). My girl doesn't 'need' it for dictation. If I was given the chance to choose, I'll not buy -- and save a couple of hundred dollars.
