Instead of a lahvlahn ad couldn’t they just start so to speak?

Are Transition Year students doing the ads?

KT will need a step up to Joe and Ryan money to keep the kids in school now.

Whoy does it have to be an EyePad? Basically it's a PDF reader you need.

School book publishers come up with new swindle!

What a surprise, not.

Couldn’t you just buy a cut price version of tge e-book?

Are the e-codes unique or common? If common just club together with other parents and pay a quid each to buy the physical book and share the e-code

Oyepad dis Oyepad dat

If you have tge physical book though, why do you need an iPad? Surely child 2 could slum it and use the paper book? Especially if the code is expired

The iconic, "Talk to Joe"

Is ironic these days

Wtith the Fat Man away so much,

Imagine pirating school bukes.

Do the e-books prohibit screenshots? If not that’s another option for child 2. Combine into a pdf.

I remember my mother having an argument with my teacher, about 30 odd years ago, ending with my mother telling the teacher that she wasn't buying me a nature or geography book, because both of the ones from the year before had been opened as far as page 10.

FFS. An iPad is not cheap. Why not a kindle Fire, which is about a fifth of the price?

These days now they will take out/add in a paragraph, mark it as the Nth edition which is mandatory for a given year, getting rid of the 2nd hand option.

HAS to be an EYE pad

Now that primary kids are getting their free books the government should just cut the back to school allowance for this group and pay a larger subvention to the secondary schools to address this age group.

I somehow think that an RTE salary wouldn't be cause to worry about school costs, KT.

I bet KT's kids aren't swanning into skule in Aldi gear.

They had already started that craic when I was in school. Busy With Maths 6, 1359th edition.

Im pretty sure maths have not changed since the days of Euclid, so why does there need to be an edition to the maths book?

Ah, the rare 65Gb iPad!

I think she’s talking a bit of rubbish

caller complaining about the cost of returning to school and she's buying iPads to beat the band. If she spent a bit of time researching other much cheaper compatible devices and less time on the airwaves...
