The Demanding Classroom is an Amazon.com affiliate.  When you visit our “aStore” and make a purchase, whether or not it was an item we recommended, we get a percentage, a small commission if you will. 

         We also participate in Google AdSense and if you choose to click on one of those ads that also gives us a small financial benefit.  After the first couple of weeks of participation that amounted to a whopping $1.68. 

         Aside from these arrangements, we have been compensated in no way (neither in cash nor in kind) by any manufacturer or publisher of any book or product we may have mentioned in this blog. 

         If we should in the future enter into a financial or other compensatory arrangement with any manufacturer or publisher whose product we endorse and/or advertise, we will disclose that, if and when it happens.

         Why do we bother mentioning all this?  Because the Federal Trade Commission, in its wisdom, has instituted regulations to protect you from unscrupulous flacks who will endorse snake oil if someone pays them to do it.  That’s not why we are here or what we are about.  If it was income we craved, we chose an odd profession.
