Here is an impassioned plea to grant amnesty to your offending teacher.=20
Teachers are one of our chief ties with the students, not to deminish our =
importance as librarians/teachers/helpers/friends, but teachers are one =
way that we can help kids love reading, and books, and ideas, and =
knowledge. It is just plain good PR, if nothing else, to write off such a =
loss, painful as it is that it is a new book...and it will usually pay =
dividends in the long run. Is this a new teacher? Maybe you can gently =
impress him/her of the cost of materials by what you say to the students =
in earshot of the teacher--just reminding them to keep materials out of =
harm's (dog's!) way, but VERY gently. You may be working with his person =
for a very long time, and setting a good foundation may be in everyone's =
best interest. (A very wise library professor from my undergraduate days =
made this plea to all of his students, and I think it was good advice and =
it has always guided me in these situations. Over a career, I must say, it =
has only come up a small handful of times.)
Just one opinion!
Happy New Year.

One of our teachers informed me the other day that her dog chewed up a new
$30 library book.  I'm not sure how to proceed.  How have you handled =
these
situations?  Since it is a teacher do you just let it go?
