Why the packets cost money when the scrolls do not
The scrolls stay free forever, with no ads and nothing gated. The packets take many more hours to write, test and key, and buying one keeps the free side alive and funds the next scroll. 25% of packet income, after fees, goes to the same classroom education fund as contributions.
Teachers on a tight budget: email and ask. Nobody gets turned away over $9.
