  • The way money for classrooms was explained was easy for the lay person to understand and actually, quite impressive. I really liked how each section was broken down, giving very realistic examples to promote real life solutions. As a teacher and an administrator I actually dreaded when our yearly candy or popcorn sales commenced. The three sections had different information, however I feel all three could easily be used by educators easily and effectively without them having a Master’s degree in finance.
