Not willing to discuss the book itself, whilst I understand the usefulness of all students have access to the same content for teaching purposes, that should be done in the most cost efficient way possible.

These money making exercises are too common across schools and higher education institutes and laws need to be introduced to stop this.

But I&#x27;m betting that they take the cowardly route instead.
