Is it possible that there is a business going on between proprietors of private schools and book authors and publishers?

The list of books and subjects that kids in Nursery and primary schools are *forced* to buy these days is frustrating. Then, the pain of realizing that my kid, two classes away from the senior cannot use his senior's textbooks is annoying. WHAT IS GOING ON?

The same subject, the same substantial content but different authors every new year.

Government should do something about it. The situation is really excruciating.

I don't know if I am alone here.
