Lessons from Scholastic
With the horror of what happened at the U.S. Capitol this past week still sinking in, there is an important question: How to explain it to America s children? Kids want to understand it, said Dick Robinson, president and CEO of Scholastic. The Capitol is a symbol. It s very important to them.
And so, Robinson said, his editors immediately started posting stories for students on the websites of Scholastic magazines. In fourth grade we ll explain it one way; in eighth grade we ll explain it another way, he said.
In fact, Scholastic – the largest publisher of children s magazines and books in the world – is just marking its 100th anniversary of helping children make sense of things:

Book Fair Sales Plunge at Scholastic By Jim Milliot | Dec 18, 2020
The loss of 79% of its domestic book fair revenue was the major factor in dropping sales and earnings at Scholastic in its second quarter ended November 31. Total revenue declined 32%, to $406.2 million, in the quarter, and operating income fell 54%, to $48.8 million.
Fair revenue fell from $224.1 million in the second period ended November 31, 2019, to $47.7 million in the most recent quarter. The revenue decline was due to a significant drop in the number of in-person fairs held in schools because of the Covid-91 pandemic, Scholastic said. The increase in new online fairs was not nearly enough to offset the downturn of Scholastic’s in-person events. The company said it is hopeful that “after a ramp-up period in the third fiscal quarter,” overall results, and especially the fair business, will start to show improvement in its fiscal fourth quarter, which ends May 31, 2021.
