She's not alone. On average teachers spend $430 out of pocket per school year on school supplies. We don't want to add to that burden, and would really really like to find a way to have the schools pay.

Folks, thanks for the great feedback. I'm especially curious what you think of our business model: The first 500 credits are free. Every month we'll add another 200 free credits. (each credit is one text message to one person) Users can als

Ok, so our little privacy link needs to be bigger clearly. Thanks. I just changed the wording on the "Perfectly Free" area and linked to our costs. Do you think that's prominent enough?
