Selling an item on teachers pay teachers is one way to sell. However they are a rip off because they take more than half of the money you make on the website. For instance I sold an item for $3.00 that I worked really are to create and they charged me $1.35 as their commission an additional. 30 cent as a transaction fee. It left me with the earnings of $1.35. This website is designed to take all of your profit. It is so sad to see websites like this. They could make such a wonderful impact by getting these items out there but they make absolute sure that the seller pays them half of what they make or even more. Such a shame.
I have only used them once and the materials that I bought (which I couldn't completely see before buying) were so lame, so subpar (I guess I'm used to the many wonderful FREE lessons that are published by sites like Busy Teacher) that I wrote a review in which I was very specific about what was wrong with the material. About two weeks later, I received a very insulting email from the author/s, basically telling me off, that I hadn't had to buy it, etc. When I complained to TPT they basically said, sorry, we don't interfere with what the authors write but you can respond. Well, when I tried, they had pulled down the materials. Fast forward about two months and this is what I have just received even though I had unsuscribed from TPT. "This is MINE and you should only review things you have bought (?)I like how you are too chicken to sign your name. Grow some balls!" yep, these are supposed to be college educated, professionals. All I can say is that it supports my general feeling that there is no quality control in TPT, especially for the higher grades. The stuff that I bought (for Around the world in 180 days) was so badly done, it probably was written by some hack.
I really loved this site and used a particular store that had awesome resources, unit bundles, etc for my courses. Unfortunately I found out 4 students in my class gained access to this website and purchased the same resources. I'm aggravated that they so easily accessed the same information. I logged on so long ago so I can't remember if there was some sort of security to ensure that my own students would not be able to access the site the same way I did.
I find it very helpful. There is a great collection for very well maintained worksheets for nearly all high school subjects. I contribute to it regularly.
I absolutely love this website. I love contributing my work to it. I also use it on a regular basis for my math class worksheets.
As a teacher for nearly 30 years, I have found this website to be a good resource.
Excellent website with a plethora of FREE resources, as well as standards-aligned teacher-created resources that are much more fun, cute, and engaging than the resources found in textbooks! I can always tell when teachers use a product from TPT by its student-friendly appearance and creativity!
