#asknostr I need your help in this one!

When you were a kid, do you remember the book fair?

Our kids’ school book fair is around the corner, and I love the idea of teaching our kids to read more.

But here’s my problem: they’ve introduced this e-wallet system where you load money for your child, and they’re not even allowing cash anymore. I used to prefer paying with cash, it taught my kids how much they are spending, how much they got back, not spending everything all at once, but now we’re being forced into using this e-wallet. If your child doesn’t spend it all, you don’t get a refund. Instead, you get an e-gift card for Scholastic books online. I don’t buy books directly from Scholastic because I can get the same books for a lot cheaper on Amazon! I also hate being forced to buy from them when I don’t want to.

Now here’s my dilemma… would you load the e-wallet and let your kids pick out books at the fair, or show them how to save by buying the books on Amazon instead?

I don't like Scholastics business model they have morph into. I also am not impressed with their selection of books. A couple competing book fair business have popped up the past couple of years. I can't remember what they are called but maybe something to look into and share with your children's school
