I wish we had internet and stuff like this when I was still in school.

I matriculated last year (2009), and all I had was past papers :p. ha ha. I'm in uni now, and all I have are past papers and those massive text books :p.

Honestly though, you could have just about every single text book available, but unless the kid is motivated to work, nothing will come from it ;). I got distinctions in Maths, Science and Geography from just using the prescribed material. While me friends spammed extra lessons (which cost a fortune). What I think is more valuable to students is going on courses where they discover the best method suits them since there's a lot of different ways to study.

I did not have text books for a few subjects, somebody stole a few of mine and if you did not hand your text books in at the end of the year you did not get ones for that subject the next year. The school books are not always that good either.

Hmmm, I guess we both speaking from a subjective point of view then ha ha. Although, I think if schools made extra material more available, then things would be easier :). People respond differently to different books.

What ponder is getting at, is that in our day (so many moons ago!!) we were issued text books by the school. We did not buy our text books like I have to do now for my kids.

If you did not hand in your (say) standard 9 text book, then you were not issued a matric text book!

I had my history text book stolen in standard 8 and ended up with a distinction in matric (without 2,5 years of text books). We also did not have the luxury of past papers, so it was a case of paying attention in class!
