Every now and then I get a comment saying, "It's a shame that teachers charge money for everything now. I remember the days when teachers would give everything away for free." Sometimes they even add insult to injury by saying, "If you really wanted to help teachers, if you really cared about kids, you wouldn't charge for this," as if anyone who wants to make a difference is supposed to do it for free and the only people who deserve to get paid are the people who AREN'T helping others. Listen in as I explain in a deeply personal way why teacher-authors like myself charge for our work, and why it's so important to respect copyright.
