[quote=Anonymous]Classroom libraries are very different than book rooms.

Book rooms might have 26 copies of a single novel like "Where the Red Fern Grows" or "Old Yeller" (or obviously newer books than these examples).  The class reads the book together and each child has his/her own copy of the book to use.

In other schools a grade level might have 4 to 6 different sets (or more) of grade appropriate novels so that all children can read the same novel and discuss it in literature circles.  At RCF these sets of novels must be purchased in duplicate so instead of having 4 to 6 sets of novels available per grade level, there might only be 2 or 3 sets of different novels available because the novels have to be purchased in duplicate and cannot be shared across the programs.

I think the tone of the dialogue between the two programs might be improved if parents from both programs would ask questions like:  "I don't understand how this is possible. Could you please explain?" instead of using phrases such as BS.
