"Two words - Life Saver!!! As a teacher who has never taught economics before, and who is a little rusty on the economics concepts myself, this resource has literally saved me!

"This is the best resource I have ever purchased! My students love it and I used it for my ACP class observation and my supervisor was just so impressed!"
"Leah provides more material than you can imagine. As well, she utilizes her experience and that of customers to make revisions which make a solid product even better -- which show up in your "My Purchases" list. Highly recommended."
