textbooks, pricing
Someone is camping a Pearson Education video account and using it to bring attention to their predatory educational material sales. McGraw-Hill is my personal vendetta...
Did you go to college? What was the most egregious single book or semester price you recall? I have $265 for one textbook.

@pamela honestly my physical textbooks haven’t been too bad — it helps that history has always tended towards assigning papers over needing a single textbook & those always have institutional access
That said I’d like to issue a callout for Vista Higher Learning — their online homework software is very popular with the Spanish dept which means that I got stuck paying $102.50 for a e-textbook I’ll loose access to at the end of the semester
