I mean the new CD.s are basically copies of the old ones with new kids who look like the old ones, and took away all of the funny and enjoyable stuff.

That aside, the text is just stupid, there is no English guide for it,

I can almost forgive some of this, but have any of you got to the 12th unit Let's go shopping.

"What would you like?"
"I'd like a BOX"
"That will be nine dollars"
" Here you go"
" Thanks, here's your box"

Really guys? Hundreds of items to pick from and you pick a BOX? Lot of kids waking up Christmas morning wanting the new "box" for Christmas?


"look mom, Santa brought me the box I wanted!!!!!!!"

And seriously, what kind of box would cost 9 bucks?

That's so perverted. Kid wants a box. Why do they let sex offenders write those books?

That reminds me of one of the Happy Birthday unit in 3rd grade (I think). They gave the kid a ruler for their birthday. Wow! A ruler, just what any kid wants for their birthday!

I'm still pissed the only fat kid is the white boy.

Even better are some of the books my school has for our English library. Made in Korea with a waegook editor and there are still loads of awful mistakes and spelling errors. Nice job waegook whoever you are.
