I’ve been a customer since 2001. Over the last few years I have observed how the quality of the books offered has decreased significantly while the prices have steadily increased. Gone are the $1.00 books. The parents of my students cannot afford the outrageous prices. Book order forms are filled with poor literature. Many of the books are tied to movies or cartoons. Where are the Newberry and Caldecott books? On the rare occasions that I do have parents submit an order, which allows me to earn $10 of free books, it’s a struggle to find one that I want in my classroom. Now Scholastic is pushing teachers to campaign and raise funds- asking more from parents and others- to purchase books. This company is disgusting and has clearly demonstrated that they do not care about children.
