Default Help convince me.....

to buy this collection.....it’s been in my wishlist for awhile now

A bit of background info - while I don’t have an outright use for a special education kit, there are links to the area with my studies and professional background of disability studies but it’s a big risk to get this collection. I am a sucker for anything remotely related hence why this collection is of interest but I just don’t know



Secondly....if you had to choose between these two collections, which would you choose. I’m an online university graduate student and would have been even without COVID. I can see bits from both collections being of use.

First - if you think you have a page or two you could document then get that kit, it seems to be speaking to you, so go for it.

Second - I think the Back to School Online would suit your situation better and probably have more pieces you could use for your life?

My 2 cents

As far as the first special education kit, I don’t have a layout in mind yet.

For the school kits....I was leaning towards Jocee’s kit to begin with

I'd go with JoCee's collection as well. For the same reasing Kiana mentioned.

I'm another that thinks JoCee kit would fit your needs and could be used for a lot of other pages as well.
As for the autism kit I believe you could use it to document all about me pages and talk about your specialty in the field/working with people with disabilities

For the Scholar bundle, why not get just the kit if you don't have any real need for the school-related items? The JC and titles are quite themed towards young people education, and you say that the education side of it won't be what your job is about...then perhaps this isn't the right bundle for you. Actually...have you ever said what would be great for a kit about your field? Maybe others could use something similar for their life. (Side note: I have taught in a special education class and now I feel like I need this bundle. Jeez Louise, I'm supposed to convince you, but you convinced me!)

CMG's collection is geared more for college (obvi, with a title like that, lol), which seems to fit your life--I mean, regardless of your current online college courses, you went to college recently, so you could also scrap those memories. The bundle is an awesome deal!

The JoCee bundle is fun but more than double the cost of the kit. I love bundles if I can use what's in the bundle...can you use all of those packs--every single one? I love the JC. But if you can't use them all, then maybe you get the Back to (online) school kit AND the Special Scholar kit. That way you don't have to choosel--or rather, your choice lets you enjoy both AND you could still get the CMG bundle.

ETA: I feel like I should mention that I am including the price factor because I know you want to get the most bang for your buck. I know it seems dry and unemotional to talk about the money side of it, but figuring out the cost-benefit always helps me.

That's a tough choice. They're all fabulous. It sounds like (as others have said) Jo Cee's kit fits your needs best right now.
