Hello, My original question was whether or not there's a school discount rate any better than the $6/week surface mail delivery of the Sunday only national edition of the New York Times. Here are the responses I received. Thanks to all. Our school subscribes to the Christian Science Monitor instead of the New York Times because it's cheaper and the teachers find it to be a more objective source of information. It runs about $85 for a 9-month subscription, 5 days per week. I searched the universe (fruitlessly) for a jobber that might offer a discount on the Sunday Times. They all explained to me that NYTimes never gives them a discount on mail delivery, so they can't offer us one. I found two options - a local magazine/newspaper supplier to the pharmacies and grocery stores said they would deliver one to us (if we had a drop box) ..........or the local drugstore (within a few blocks of school) offered to hold our copy there and our mail courier could pick it up on his way to the post office each day. $1.50 vs $6.......! Try their home delivery, I receive it much less than that. Tell your teacher to forget it. He should just have his students use the free online version. Once a computer has been registered w the Times, the websites automatically opens all of its contents to the user, whether he is from first period or third or whatever. www.nytimes.com -- Diane Averett/Librarian Kerr-Vance Academy 700 Vance Academy Rd.
