I got an email today that my leave replacement used my Scholastic points (3500 of them to buy books for herself.) she has my login and password to have access to the website and the resources. But I did not give her permission to use my points. I am volunteering at a warehouse sale next week where I can use my points and now I have zero! Those are points I’ve accumulated for years for my own purchases.
This is wrong, right? I would never use someone’s account to buy something for myself, whether it’s real cash or points.
That’s theft. I’d ask your P what steps you can take, including calling HR and filing a report. Maybe email her so you have everything in writing and ask her for the monetary value of those points.
I’m going to try to cancel it through Scholastic first. Then email her that I cancelled it because those are my points and she can repurchase them with her own money.
Ok, I’m glad I’m not overreacting. My mom didn’t think it was a big deal but she’s not a teacher lol
It’s like using my credit card points to go on a vacation. It is stealing in my opinion.
I emailed scholastic saying I did not make the order and to cancel it and also emailed the teacher asking her if she made the order. Hopefully it was by accident but if I remmeber correctly you have to deliberately click it use points.
She really did that?!?!? It’s out and out theft if she did it on purpose. If you can’t cancel the order, I would file a police report and ask for full compensation.

Agreed!
I have let my subs use my scholastic account to view the online resources for scholastic news. If one of them went into my bookclub and used my points I would FLIP OUT.
I’d actually
Call Scholastic and talk to someone in person. Their customer service is great. If you explain the situation they can probably push the cancellation through.

Do you know the sub did it or do you suspect she did? Wouldn't the books be mailed to you? Obviously, I don't do the Scholastic thing, so I don't have insight into how it all works.
She's not wrong if two conditions are met. One, she's ordering them to keep in the school. Two, you got those points through parents orders. I never did Scholastic as my classes never bought anything. I always got my own books cheaper through other sources (including second hand). I have seen rewards taken away from teachers because they got those points threw student orders.
I don’t think she should be allowed to order books for my class with my points. It’s points that have accumulated from me spending my personal money. I have been saving them and often use them to buy Christmas books for my students or to stock my library.
We do not get many orders from parents. There were maybe $15 spent from a parent last year.
Like GreyhoundGirl said, Scholastic has great customer service. They will cancel the order if you call them in time.
I also have very few student orders and put in my own orders (albeit usually for classroom books) to get more freebies. You can't beat those $1 books! It doesn't matter how many student orders we have. The bonus points are a reward for the teachers who spend the time making the program work. Some teachers don't bother.

What?! No, it's stealing. Those points belong to the teacher to use as the teacher sees fit, not as someone else who happens to work at the same school sees fit. Scholastic is pretty clear that points belong to a teacher not a school.
Mrs.Wok is the one who gets to decide how those points should be used.
