Selling Old High School Textbooks?

We Answered:

Maybe you should return them to the school.

You do mean to be GREEDY because you know that they are school books that belong to a school and you are trying to make a profit from selling stolen school books. These are TAX PAYERS books and they are not yours to sell.

That would make you a CRIMINAL for selling stolen merchandise.

So your real question is "Do you think that I will make money from selling stolen school books and will I get caught?"

Any suggestions on where to find used textbooks for high school subjects?

We Answered:

We started home schooling in the 8th grade and our approach was much like your approach. We have found many text books at the Goodwill Store and Salvation Army store. The only drawback to these is that they do not come with the teacher's book with answers and ideas. We have found that we can do search online for topics in the book and find more sources and updated information from the Internet.
Check with your local home school support group and see if they have a used book sale.
EBay does have text books. They have a rule that they cannot sell the teacher's books. They have a fear that public school students would get one in their hands and cheat. (I work in the public school and copying papers on lunch break is a big part of the 20 minute lunch break.) Ebay users have found a way to get around the rule so look for notes on the ads that tell about 'other books of interest'. This will be the teacher's books or solution/answer books.
Also, many of the bigger publishing companies have websites with much of their text from the books online. Some have interactives for various subjects.
Technology has made home schooling easier than it was 10 years ago.
Best of luck to you.

Can you suggest any grammar textbooks for high school age?

We Answered:

I did a little research and came up with 'Ima!' - a three level Japanese course book that guides junior/high school students up to GCSE. It is a text book used in some English school and has an accompanying cassette and CDs to coincide with the book. There are also teacher resource booklets included. It does deal with grammar in a non-heavy manner, through illustration scenario but is well explained. The topics covered in the series give an accurate account of Japanese life and culture. I'm not sure if it's better than 'Japanese For Young People' but it looks. It is a bit on the pricy side so I would think it's better to buy it direct from the publisher/distrubuter as Amazon doesn't currently sell the series a package. Have a look:

Viola Said:

How long on average are college and high school textbooks used?

We Answered:

In high school, textbooks are usually used until they begin to get old (at least at my school), which is about 4 or 5 years. Colleges typically keep a textbook until a new edition is released, though it differs from professor to professor as they're usually the ones that choose the books they want to use in their classes.
