Hot take: Teacher Pay Teachers is a rip off. There, I said it! I am also somebody that has their credit card information memorized on the site because I make so many purchases. Why is TPT so popular? Because there is a need for content. Teachers are using antiquated textbooks/resources, limited technology time due toContinue reading “The one where he produced content for the love of what he was doing and not the profit”
