Kind of. In their statement, Subway explains why home schooled students weren’t included, we wouldn’t benefit from $5000 of exercise equipment it would seem. They’ve obviously never met my boys. We could use $5000 worth of equipment to wear them out, and maybe save my furniture. Trust me, it would be put to very good use. They say they understand that now, but won’t change the rules. Why not? They don’t say.

They don’t really apologize, they say, “We get why you were mad.” Great. Then you also get why we’ll be eating somewhere else. Isn’t it great when communication works and we all understand each other?

If you missed their statement, here it is:

Regarding your concerns about the Subway contest that excludes home schools from contest eligibility, Scholastic and Subway apologize to all individuals who have taken offense at this. Our intention was never to make independent schooled children feel discriminated against or excluded from this specific promotion.

Throughout the course of the year Scholastic runs a number of contests and sweepstakes that are open to all teachers and students. The eligibility of this contest in particular was solely put in place to award a large group of children with the grand prize of $5,000 worth of athletic equipment. We do however understand how home- schooled children could benefit from this type of prizing and will make sure eligibility is open to everyone in future promotions.

We appreciate your feedback and will make sure a similar situation does not happen in the future.
