Auction Giant Denies Education Resources

Parents and teachers banned from selling educational material online; alternative education advocates provide a solution.

Hydesville, CA, September 14, 2006 --(PR.com)-- Teacher editions, answer keys, and curriculum that contain them are now banned at the largest auction on the web.  

The new policy prohibits the sale of any education resource that provides full or partial answer keys, teaching tips, or contains or is a teacher’s edition.  These are named along with illegal substances and contraband.  This decree adversely affects all alternative education groups, principally, homeschool curriculum buyers and sellers.  

Behind the Redwood Curtain, Business by Design heard the outcry of the community and stepped in to fill this void.  Being advocates for alternative education, and home educators themselves, Business by Design delivers a new auction site dedicated to all things educational:  www.gladmind.com  

Glad Mind Education Auction encourages not only the buying and selling of educational resources, but also provides an opportunity to swap items with others, find free resources, and become a part of a like-minded community.  Gladmind.com offers a platform for many niche education groups, including but not limited to special education, continuing education, professional development, gifted resources and home education.    

Glad Mind Education Auction was launched September 12, 2006.  The grand opening includes free listings for 2006 (10 cents per listing in 2007) and no final fees.  All other fees are priced competitively low.  Since closing fees are eliminated, swapping, posting wanted ads and giving away items is encouraged.  

Gladmind.com welcomes new and used textbooks, curriculum, lesson plans, study guides, school supplies, magazines and all educational resources at any education level to assist the public in their quest for knowledge.  

Deborah W., homeschool mother of seven, Roseville, CA stated, “I was so distraught when I found I could not buy or sell the curriculum I needed any longer.  I am so relieved to see that there will finally be a place that is like-minded in allowing all types of educational materials to be bought or sold, including those all important teachers editions.  Without them, I could not homeschool.  I highly encourage all educators to check into this new opportunity.  I plan to do all my buying and selling at gladmind.com from now on.  The folks who run it are home educators themselves and know what they are doing..., gladmind.com puts educators and educational materials back in the marketplace.”
