[quote=Anonymous]I agree this may be a problem for some kids whose only access to books is through school.

My son is in 1st grade in APS.  He not only has his weekly library book but every day he brings home two small bags of books, one in English and one in Spanish.  This child is toting around 6-7 school owned books a day.

While we have tons of English books at home we have only a small number of Spanish books,  If he didn't get to bring these books home I would have to buy more spanish books to help him with his reading.  This would not be a financial burden on our family (thankfully) but it would be for some families.

We have to remember that not everyone has access to books at home and not everyone is easily able to take their kid to the library.

In our school it is simple.  You don't return a book you don't get to take out a new one.  Last year in K my son forgot once and was so upset it never happened again.

So I agree OP.  This seems ridiculous but this is something we deal with as an adults in the work environment too.  Instead of cracking down on the offenders everyone is punished.  [/quote]
