[quote=Anonymous]My kids (now 5th and 2nd graders) have both been through this and my 2nd grader is in the middle of it. I tell my kids that they are fully responsible for anything that they voluntarily bring to school - I will not replace anything that is broken, stolen, lost, damaged, or given away. On the other hand, I also let them know that anything they get from another kid is subject to return upon request of the kid or parents. They are both fine with these rules and proceed accordingly. If my kids come home with anything that appears to have actual value (e.g., the $20 my first grader came home with one day), I do reach out to the parents and offer to "unwind" the transaction. Also, in some cases, kids do "swindle" other kids, but there have been many times when my second grader tells me that they are brining in X because friend gave them Y yesterday. So some kids are good about keeping their promises. [/quote]
