OK, I went to American public schools from Elementary to high school. In 
primary (Elementary) school you do not pay for books, but then the fee is in 
the tax system we have, or there might be an extra fee.  I think the same 
goes for middle (junior) high.  But when I got to high school we had to buy 
our books. It really depends on where you are from.
