[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the kids in this room are generally unable to remember to bring the books back on time, then I think this policy makes sense.  The kids have access to the books in the classroom, but the books are not unavailable to every other kid for weeks or months at a time.  [/quote]

+1  What solution would you have, OP?  [b]You admit it is a class of SN kids and admit that your son would have trouble remembering the day books are due.[/b]  Clearly he isn't the only one with this problem because of the new rule that is being imposed.  So the answers are:

a.  No checkouts whatsoever

b.  No checkouts can go home

c.  Checkouts can go home and books are very likely not coming back in

d.  Telling the same kids (presumably) each week that they can't check any books out because they haven't been returned

Of those options, isn't b the best option for a class of kindergarteners?[/quote]

That's a terrible way of putting it, PP. "Admit your child has SN", as if it's something criminal? A child who has a diagnosed issue which makes him forgetful should have equal access to the library and its books!!!

And for your information, schools usually implement rule d. It's the only fair solution.

I prefer option d. I'd say 95% of my kindergarteners can handle the responsibility with an occasional slip up. About 5% are chronic forgetters

As for children who are not cognitively capable of being responsible for their books and other school materials it is a tough call if the parents are not taking responsibility for them.
