Having tried phone sales, I remember these are just
people trying to earn a living. However, I learned
that sometimes you just need to say "I am not
interested. Thank you for calling." And hang up.
They may not get the sale but it's better than someone
being rude.

Hi,
   My personal feeling about this is that the operative concept is THEY are
there to help me - and if they are no help -i have no use for them.  The
first time, I politely say - send me something, I don't do anything without
hard copy information in front of me.  Most of the time this works.  And /
or I say (initially) politely - that I'm sorry, I'm very busy, they can send
me their info and if I need them I'll call them.  If they ask to call back I
say sure if you want - they're going to get the same answer when they do...
the whole call should take no more than a minute.
BUT if they push or insist or continually call back - I stop being
nice and sharply say - look - I told you, and if it still continues I'll
tell them I don't deal with pushy sales people (there are always sales
people and you can usually order directly from a company) and worse case,
I'll say sorry I'm busy and hang up on them.
All this to say - YOUR in control - they serve YOU. It wouldn't be my first
option, but I don't worry about being rude either.
(BTW) I've also cancelled orders from sales people who were not helpful and
rude or mid trying to make the order said - look, your attitude etc. is
unacceptable, I'm not dealing with you - don't contact me again and gotten
the materials from other places.
Good luck

We carry a number of titles from the Cliff Notes collection.  In fact, we
have more than one copy of many of them.  They circulate quite a bit.  We
keep them in the literature section of the non-fiction collection.  Our YA
and Adult non-fiction are shelved together.  All the notes are shelved
together alphabetically by the title of the work covered in that volume.

Hi,

       One nifty idea that I got from our children's person is to let the
person know that I am extremely busy and would welcome if he/she could fax
me
paperwork concerning what is being sold.  I can call the salesperson back if
there is something that I would like.  It has worked every time.  They seem
to like the idea to.

     Dear Christina,

     I understand what you mean about sales people.
If they show up with a van full of books, which that
has happened to me, I simply explain that I will give
them five minutes of my time.  You can give a larger
amount if you wish.  I politely explain that I have
other things, which I name in order to be polite, and
say that is the only amount of time I can deal with.
     If they are pushy when you are buying from them,
just stop and tell them that they seem rushed.
Perhaps a better time is better for them so that they
can be more settled.  Or just be direct and tell them
they are being pushy.  You are in control.  You are
the customer.  If he/she wants to continue to do
business with you they will have to be considerate of
how you do things.  If they want to make a sale, they
will oblidge.
      As for phone calls, I just tell them that they
can send a catalog that I will look over.  If I have
any questions I will call and thank them for taking
their time to call me.
      The main thing is be polite, yet very firm.

      Good luck,
      Frannie

I don't know about Catholic schools of years gone by, Christine, but my
children attended Parochial school through the 6th grade and were blessed
with teachers who read to them in every grade.  And these wonderful
teachers were open to suggestions of new titles, which of course, I was

What do I remember being read as a child?

3rd Grade - Mrs. Taylor.  She was very fond of Roald Dahl.  We heard James
and the Giant Peach, and most of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

5th Grade - Miss Lionello.  For some unknown reason, she read our "gifted"
combination 4th, 5th, and 6th grade class Coma by Robin Cook.  I don't
remember what I thought about it at the time, but a few years later I went
into the hospital to have my tonsils out, and almost had screaming hysterics
when I heard the sound of a radio in the operating room (read the book and
this will make sense).

I only remember my dad reading to me when I was sick with the chicken pox.
He read Around the World in Eighty Days - still a favorite.  Then, when I
was in college, I used to read to him on long car trips (this was before
books on tape).  I introduced him to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy,
which we both loved.

I've been following this thread with a smile on my face - thanks for giving
us all something pleasant to think about.

I only remember being read to in 5th grade and I don't remember the title
of the book.  But I have read aloud to my children for a long time.  Now
that they are grown, my husband and I read aloud to each other.  We read
such children's books as the Bagthorps series by Cresswell and the Soup
series by Peck.  We also have read all the Mitford books by Jan Karon.
And what would traveling in the car be without all those wonderful books
on tape.  I especially enjoyed Holes and The Great Turkey Walk to name a
few of the tens I have listen to.  Sometimes they are so good, I hate to
get out of the car.
This thread has been very interesting, in that some titles seem to be
repeated fequently!

Hi, Everyone,
       I have fond memories of my sixth-grade teacher, Miss Wolpert, reading
Wind in the Willows to us in the afternoons.  While I can't claim that the
book made a particularly great impression on me, or that it "turned me on"
to
reading (I was already very much a reader), the fact that I remember those
afternoons so clearly and so fondly certainly says something good!
       Also, my mother read Black Beauty to my sister and me as the three of
us sat around the kitchen table (my sister and I enjoying a snack) after
school in the afternoons.  This is one of many precious memories I have of
my
childhood!
       I read to all four of my children as they were growing up, and I
still
bring home certain picture books to read to my husband (and for my own
enjoyment)!  Soon I'll have the opportunity to begin reading to my first
grandchild -- How I look forward to that!  :)

Thought I'd add some different ones to this thread...

In fourth grade, my teacher Ms Osborne read "Miss
Osborne-the-Mop by Wilson Gage to our class.  We were
also read to by one of the school librarians (I think
it was that year)- Mr. Pudgins by Ruth Christoffer
Carlsen.

Years later I read them to my own children and they
loved them.

In the sixties, my fourth grade teacher, Mr. Samson, read _Snow Treasure_ by
Marie McSwigan. It was an exciting book about Norwegian children who
smuggled
the country's gold past Nazi guards to safety during WWII.  I still remember
this book and recommend it to teachers and young people who are looking for
