News-Sentinel | 08/19/2006 | Public-school book fees add up

News-Sentinel | 08/19/2006 | Public-school book fees add up:
"Every child in the United States is guaranteed the right to a free public education, but for many Indiana students, an education is anything but free.

From gym shoes to glue, textbooks to notebooks and everything in between, parents privately fund their children’s public education.
