Why I'm Giving The Book Away at Cost...
(And no, it's not a gimmick.)
I am selling each book at the cost of printing, fulfillment, and shipping, and not a penny more.
Why am I doing this?
Because I'm a swell guy.
But really, there are two reasons I'm doing this.
First, I spent over 30 years in the classroom to finally come to these conclusions.
I'm doing this because I don't want you to waste another moment of your career not enjoying your job...not interacting with your students the way your heart tells you you want to!
I've been through it all over three decades in the classroom. Let me tell you what I've learned.
Embracing my sloppy classroom has made a huge difference in how I feel about teaching each and every day. I want you to feel that way, too.
Therefore, my goal is to get this book into as many hands as possible.
The second reason I'm selling this book at cost is because I know by transforming your practice, you may become interested in other things I share that will transform you even further!
That's all.
I know The Sloppy Classroom will change your life, and I can't wait for you to read it!
