Sell Textbooks

On January I will have 3 students full time all in Grade school. They are all in public school so I only need to pay their uniforms, textbooks, and school contribution. The school sell textbooks that is direct from the manufacturer so that parents can get it cheaper. For 3 of them I'm sure it will cost me fortune again. How I wish their education system is like in UK where all students have free everything including paper, textbooks, pens, pencil and anything that you need at school and one more if parents have low income their children have free hot meal at school. That is why when I was still there I wander why there's a lot of parents who prefer not to send their children to school.
