Disgusted by pressure selling at school
I am so, so sad about this whole concept. I've just had an email from my daughter's school to say that Scholastic are coming in next week. The children are going to be shown all the books on Monday and Tuesday and they will come home with a Wish List so they can ask their parents to buy them at the book fair on Wednesday and Thursday. Wow, talk about pressure selling!! Some parents will be pressured to part with money they might not want to part with and might not have. Others will have to break it to their disappointed children that no, they can't have the books that their teachers have spread before them like a feast and got their hopes up about! Most of us are feeling under financial pressure at the moment. My neighbours can't afford to have their heating on. This whole concept just makes me feel sick. And to make matters worse, the letter from the school promises that the books are 50% off RRP. I've checked out the Scholastic website and they're not. They are MUCH cheaper on Amazon and a lot are cheaper at Waterstones. This is just a horrible, heartbreaking con.

I have ordered several times from Scholastic. Their customer service is excellent and money from buying the books goes to the local school

Very disappointing
Placed order on the 27th of November, no dispatch email and they have not replied to two emails that I have sent them asking for an update on my order. Going to have to start a credit card dispute to get my money back as there is a wall of silence from scholastic. My first and last order with this company.

Please stop releasing Fighting Fantasy…
Please stop releasing Fighting Fantasy books with second-rate illustrators producing poorly drawn CGI images within the pages. You are insulting the fans of the books and the original artist who created masterpieces for said books when they were originally released. The latest book is exceptionally poor and deserves nothing but the bin.

Quality Products, Quality Service
In December 2011, we ordered a selection of books for our childminding business in the Scholastic sale. Payment was conducted over the phone and service and dispatch time was very good. As with some other book sites, you can stipulate which school you would like your purchases to help, earning the chosen school some free books. The site has sections for parents, children and teachers. Overall, from using the website interface through to the service we received means we recommend Scholastic!
