or access to

commercially

published curriculum.

sometimes it is better to let the “expert” teach it!

Benefit #3

Provides an alternative to supporting large

publishing corporations…kind of like not

shopping at Walmart.

Benefit #4

Promotes self-education…I learn a lot!

Benefit #5Decreases the piles of unwanted, outdated,

used textbooks that go to the recycling

bin…or (worse yet) the landfill!
