Scholastic

Strange how there would be disagreement over ordering Scholastic Magazine and Teen Ink for my classroom, the argument being that these are not aligned to the Common Core.  Huh?  My supervisor won't sign my purchase order for these...saying everything is on the computer anyway.

Is this a case of a rat biting its own tail or a snake devouring itself?

Can children no longer flip through pages of a magazine (geared especially for them) during free moments in class?

Or, is it only disadvantaged children being ripped off?
