gen: copyright question

[Sally Schoenberg <Sallyisit@AOL.COM>]

A teacher in my school came to me today with an idea.  He would like to make
cassette tape recordings of various stories for students to take home and use
for practice in reading.  He doesn't know exactly how many, but would like it
to be "alot." My first reaction was to say that he is violating copyright law
since cassette recordings of books can be purchased.  But I told him that I
would put the scenario out there for someone better versed in copyright
issues.  Any advice? Am I correct?
Thanks for your expertise,
Sally
