A reader’s comment:

“I finished Razor Tips! Excellent! 45 years of teaching wisdom digestible in 4.5 hours @14.5 pages a day (glancing at the graphics for instant recall). This should be taught as a Magnificent Mothers’ Mini Course! I plan to use it when asked to speak or give an intro to home schooling. It’s a course in pedagogy for youth and adults to train to teach Sunday school or help with home schooling!” (Polly)
