Anyone else feel a little nostalgic for demise of that classroom standby, My Weekly Reader? Scholastic, which recently acquired the publication, is folding it into Scholastic News. It was first published in 1902 and at one point was read by two thirds of all children in grammar school. Back when it was called grammar school.
RIP Weekly Reader

Oh — this makes me incredibly nostalgic — and incredibly sad.
Oh – that's sad. In third grade I remember making my teacher laugh by calling it the "Weakly Reader" Some of the stuff was rather dry and boring.
