Errors

I work for Scholastic, and there are some pretty significant errors (all that can be checked at About Scholastic) on this page, including:

  • The company is referred to as Scholastic or Scholastic Inc.; Scholastic Press is an imprint of Scholastic Trade, which is the division of the company that publishes children's books for the trade market.
  • In addition to being a publishing company, Scholastic is also an education and media company.
  • It was founded in 1920, not 1925.
  • Global Headquarters of the company are in New York City. We have international offices in Toronto, London, Shanghai, India, Australia and New Zealand, but not in Rome, Mexico City or Paris.
  • Revenue is $2 Billion USD
  • Number of employees as of 2009 is 9,800
  • Scholastic Book Clubs is referred to officially in the plural (not Scholastic Book Club)
  • Klutz is not called “Klutz Press,” but simply Klutz.
  • The address for Scholastic’s corporate headquarters is 557 Broadway (not 557 W. Broadway)
  • The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards are 86 years old
  • Scholastic At Home is no longer a division of Scholastic
  • Scholastic Productions is actually called “Scholastic Media”
  • Charles in Charge and The Baby-sitters Club were not produced by Scholastic Media. Other television programs and movies produced by Scholastic Media included Maya & Miguel (TV), Wordgirl (TV), Turbodogs (TV), Dragon (TV), Clifford's Really Big Movie (movie), Tuck Everlasting (movie) and Golden Compass (movie).

This page is so pathetic that words fail me. 67.171.168.153 19:30, 2004 Jul 22

  • I've added some descriptions of the company's divisions and changing the article name to Scholastic Inc. vs. Scholastic Press, a division of the company. --ma 18:45, July 30, 2005 (UTC)
  • This article needs some major help. There's hardly a mention on here about Harry Potter. That was a major coup for this company! I doubt many publishing companies would've taken a chance on something like Harry Potter, and they deserve to have a section on this page about how they came to get the Potter books as part of their company. Geez... That's gotta make this company a major player!

Wrong!

Why is this title saying Scholastic Press instead of Scholastic Corporation?

Read 180

Why is there no article about Read 180??? (Superjustinbros. 21:42, 7 March 2007 (UTC))

Which is... ? Is that particular to your region or the whole nation/ international regions? Still a schoolkid, and have never heard of it. 71.253.252.88 12:00, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
READ 180 is a heavily marketed reading-improvement program by Scholastic. It has four components: teacher-directed lessons addressed to the whole class, plus rotating segments that involve small-group work, independent reading with leveled books (some are ordinary trade paperbacks, while others are adaptations or Scholastic-developed material), or a computer-based program. It's one of their big things now and has been since about the '90s. I would agree that it should, at minimum, be listed as one of their divisions/programs.

Some sections sound taken from a press release

Do we really need such a long section on the awards, or the boilerplate-sounding description of the "remarkable" people who've received them? I can see having a paragraph, but if we're going to get into a listing of them, it should be in a separate article on the awards, if they merit that much attention. There are other sections which sound "ripped from the [PR] headlines," including the overly comprehensive listing of their titles; wouldn't a listing of just their best-selling series titles do?

Proposed merge with Arthur A. Levine Books

imprint of major publisher; the material would be better merged with a redirect. DGG ( talk ) 01:17, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Cant find any other reference to its "soon to be British-based subsidiary Pearson PLC",so im removing it.Gregory1132 (talk) 10:51, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Looks like this merge was never performed. I'll do it this week. -- Mikeblas (talk) 14:34, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

I've (finally!) performed this merge. -- Mikeblas (talk) 16:17, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

Proposed merge with Children's Press

Children's Press doesn't appear to be notable by itself; I'll merge it with this article soon, if there are no objections. -- Mikeblas (talk) 14:34, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

Removal of un-referenced material

The tags suggested that this article was written as advertising copy. Perhaps reading WP:MOS before doing a cut and paste job would have helped. I have deleted vast amounts that I couldn't verify. All the deleted material can be found using View History. When Wp:RS secondary sources have been found some can be replaced- the use of lists is deprecated, and more so could be a copyvio.
