High School Textbooks?
Hello everybody!
Some people have told me that I should keep my high school textbooks just in case I need them for reference. Do I? Because I'm hesitant in selling them....

I never used my highschool notes (I say notes because we never bought the books) in university... ever.

Nah, just get rid of them. Most high school textbooks avoid explaining the technicalities behind anything (i.e. most high school physics textbooks avoid exposing you to calculus at all costs :p).

Wow, you had to buy your own high school texts?
Honestly, you will probably never need/use them ever again. You will have first year books that are extensive. On top of that, you can also use the libraries and the internet for reference.
Sell them now while you can.

My teacher doesn't even consider highschool physics to be physics since it doesn't contain calculus :\

Me neither... perhaps private schools? I don't know much about private schools though.

I've used some of my high school notes before, and they came in handy.
