>Pay 300+ dollars for course that is essentially just reading off the power points provided by the (((publisher)))
>Have to pay an additional 100 dollars just to buy the book to acquire the (((access code))) so I can do any of the course content required to pass the class
The american (((education))) system is absurd.
