Hi all,
In reading about the teachers paying for books (ha ha, would never happen in
my school!), I wonder what kind of policy you have about students doing the
same.
In my three years at this school, we have had a mix...some parents are on top
of things and if the child says the book is lost, the parent will pay the
cost.
Today (and this has happened before) a parent has challenged the bill (the
book came back with half a page ripped out, the missing half was NOT
returned) and my principal said to let it go.
I know it shouldn't bother me so much as if the parent pays by check, the
money is gone to never never land (it doesn't get credited back to the
library budget!) However I wonder what message we are sending to both
student and parent by just "letting it go."
TIA,
Emily
