[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why SN parents get a bad rap. You think that because your child "can't remember" that it's fine for books, which are property of the school, to just trickle out all year? Take some responsibility. If your kid has SN your job is going to be harder. Deal with it.[/quote]

You didn't read this properly.  It is a class of SN kids and OP's kid is returning books.  Others are not.  The question is whether OP's kids and others returning books should be punished for the actions of the few who are not returning books.

The answer should be a resounding no.  The kids not returning books should be refused check out rights until they return previously borrowed books.  Those exhibiting the desired behavior should not be punished--that just teaches children that their good behavior is not valued so they may as well act like those not doing the right thing because the result for them is the same.

All children should learn to respect books and value making them available to others to enjoy at an early age.  It really doesn't matter if they are SN or not; this is behavior that should be instilled in all children.[/quote]
