An Angry Teacher

Dear Scholastic Book Club,

What the hell are you thinking? A teacher orders books to give students as Christmas gifts. I (being that teacher) pay an extra $16 for rush shipping to insure that it get here in time (before Christmas break). I open the box this morning that was shipped to me to find 22 copies of a LETTER from your company!

Dear Reader,

Thank you for your order from School Book Clubs. We’re very sorry. Unfortunately, when your teacher’s order was being packed, an item you ordered was not available. We expect to receive it shortly and will ship it to your classroom as soon as it arrives in our warehouse.

Please accept the enclosed Bonus Gift with our compliments to thank you for your understanding.

Are you kidding me? I paid $16 to RUSH ship that?!?!?!? I could have made up gift certifactes with that on it for FREE!

Around the holidays, wouldn’t it be nice for your company to TRY to call a teacher to make other arrangements? Like tell me to PICK ANOTHER FRICKIN’ BOOK!

******UPDATE: I called Scholastic and voiced my opinion. They are sending me another book for my kids…..and they’ll TRY to get it here before Friday. (They’ll pay shipping, of course). Those books better be here!

    Maybe you could ship the kids to Scholastic?

    Wow, you would think they could keep tabs on something such as this. At the same time, since I’ve worked for large corporations, I know it’s inevitable that things fall through the cracks, or are not paid enough attention. It’s sad that it happens too.

    I hope they get you your student’s books before the holidays!

    Yeah, Scholastic has done that to me more than once. Happened last year at XMAS, as a matter of fact. I think they lost A’s first grade classroom’s books…a lot of ticked off parents right now.

    Saw your response about where to spend Christmas on “That’s My Answer” and just dropped by to send you a Christmas hug. I’ve been there and know how much it hurts.
