[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My school "loses" hundreds of dollars in books each year not being returned and parents not paying for them.  So the students are only allowed to keep the books in their classrooms.  If I didn't return books to the public library and didn't pay to replace them, the [b]same thing would happen[/b].  Se la vie.[/quote]

Actually no. The same thing wouldn't happen. Your aren't reading carefully.  If someone else didn't return a book to the library, you are still allowed to check them out. The county library systems don't restrict access to the books nor do they require you to only read them in the library (unless they are under special section or current magazine titles, of course) if your neighbors don't return them. Most of you would be [b]livid[/b] as adults if you were told you weren't allowed to check out a book because your neighbors didn't return them. This is also a SN classroom with a different set of checkout policies that the rest of the school is not having to do.

This is no different than cancelling recess for the entire class, which is against most county public school system policies.

Complain. This is bad and self-defeating policy. You don't teach children to love books, value checking them out and reading them at home by restricting access. Honestly it should be against a teacher's ethics. [/quote]
