Power and conflict student revision

I totally agree with all the other comments re subscription. I can buy an equivalent resource elsewhere and only subscribed so that I can gain access to this sort of material as part of the cost. I’d be interested to know what is new and free for subscribers only as it appears that the I would be better off returning to my free subscription when my year ends. Very disappointed.

Agree that this should be free for members. But, looking at the samples I don't rate this more highly than various schools' material that can be found on a Google search, or the Mr Bruff YouTube clips.

Totally agree that TeachitEnglish is charging members for this resource, when the joining details alluded to free downloadables. Unethical in this trying time for so many. It’s bad enough having to photocopy at our cost! Please re-think TIE - I think there is sufficient feeling in the comments on here ...

Do you have plans to create a similar resource for the 'Love and Relationships' cluster of poems?

I find this an absolutely invaluable resource. It’s attractive, concise and provides my students with the information and understanding essential for exam success.
I use this in the classroom and, during lockdown, on-line.

This book is absolutely outstanding. Much work has gone into it and it is really appealing for students.

I cannot thank you enough.

Many thanks for raising your concerns - we're really appreciative of your feedback and are very sorry that some of you feel disappointed and angry that we haven’t made 'Power and conflict' available to subscribers. In recent years, we've started to release stand-alone, downloadable items which are not available as part of a subscription – 'Fix it writing' is just one example. Until the launch of 'Power and conflict', we'd never received any negative user feedback about ring-fenced pricing for specific, selected products. This has definitely given us pause for thought.

In terms of the 'Power and conflict' guide, this is a hand-illustrated, extremely labour-intensive pack and we're really thankful to our writer, editor and designer for the many, many, many(!) hours spent on it - we think it's a really high-quality pack which is well worth the money (though we would say this, of course!).

In terms of ensuring that a Teachit subscription offers you value for money, we have recently launched the first of our exam skills packs - 'AQA GCSE English Language Paper 2' and will be publishing the equivalent pack for Paper 1 in the autumn, so please watch this space. We're absolutely committed to ensuring that your subscription to Teachit is relevant and cost-effective so please do continue to let us know about content that you see as a must-have: support@teachit.co.uk

I'm thinking twice about renewing my subscription.

Why is this not free for members? It is the key reason I joined. Very disappointing.

It's a disgrace that this is not free for members.

This is an appalling turn of events! I won't pay for this; it should be free for members! Every single site that we think is good, fair and useful, goes this way....unbelievably disappointing.

I agree, I feel quite frustrated that this isn’t free and now I fear what else you will ask for payment for. I pay for subscription because I believed that these packs are part of the cost. I feel ‘ripped off’.

Surprised thsi isn't free! Have just renewed as I assumed it was!!

I too feel that with the amount we pay for subscriptions, this should be free to members. My department does not pay for me; I pay my own subscription and so, I think, do many. This may be good value for a school to buy but for an individual it seems too much.

To answer my own question, yes teachit has responded:
Thanks everyone for taking the time to leave a comment.

We are experimenting with a range of products to support students, and believe that this photocopiable revision guide offers excellent value for money. We really appreciate feedback from teachers, and will absolutely bear your comments in mind for the future.

Has teachit responded to the many questions asking why this is not free to members?

I will not pay for this.

We pay a subscription for exactly this type of resource. Why is this not free to members?

Definitely should be FREE for members.

What a shame - I'd quite like this for an Easter revision group. However, after just paying my subscription to TeachitEnglish at £99 and TeachitPrimary at £50 - I don't want to pay for access to materials that given time I can make myself. I really like the teaching packs and that allows me to justify the subscription but if extra charges are the way forward I will rethink that.

I was happy to pay for this resource. It is exceptional in terms of its content and the ways in which it encourages students to explore the poems. It's beautiful too! I understand people's concerns. However, if this had been published elsewhere I can imagine it would have cost a lot more. It still feels like a bargain to me.

Haven't members already paid £55 to access resources?

Why isn't this free for members?

Please don't go like the TES where I have to wade through resources that cost a fortune made by educational companies rather than teachers happy to share.

Why is this not free for members?

Disappointed this is not free like your other guides.

Its very strange to charge for this new very useful teaching pack which would be in much demand for so many. Should be free like others, the subscription is enough!!

Why is this not free for members please? We pay an expensive school faculty subscription annually and are loyal customers. Come on Teachit... this isn't like you!
