KTS doesn't give us a choice. We either buy the whole set through the school or we buy everything ourselves. Why can't we choose not to buy certain items? I hate to buy those CDs as my daughter never use them. She chucked them into the drawer straight after they were given by the teacher.
That's why I said the CDs are no use FOR ME (ONLY). My girl doesn't 'need' it for dictation. If I was given the chance to choose, I'll not buy -- and save a couple of hundred dollars.
