Sharing/Copying this Resource
Feel free to purchase just one for your department - no need for a copy for each teacher. However:
Please do NOT share with the school down the road.
Please do NOT take it with you to a new school.
Feel free to suggest the website to others - that'd be great!
That's pretty fair I think! Let's help each other out. :)
