The approach of Christmas brings harassment and dread to many excellent people.
They have to buy a cart-load of presents, and they never know what to buy to hit
the various tastes; they put in three weeks of hard and anxious work, and when
Christmas morning comes they are so dissatisfied with the result, and so
disappointed that they want to sit down and cry. Then they give thanks that
Christmas comes but once a year.

Terri-
Are you sure you want to get in this fight?
I would certainly agree to not check out ANY books to her student if that is the
parents wish. It is not your job to screen material for individual students, merely
to follow your district selection policy. I would attempt to have that conversation
in front of the student, as well, so she understands the reason she may not check
out materials.

Hi folks:
I'm in need of a written response to a parent that does not want their child
(Kindergarten) to check out books with the word "stupid" in them. She has made the
suggestion that this is due to poor monitoring of the students in library. Of
course, this is totally not the case, simply a different view of what my job is and
what her job as a parent entails. Does anyone have anything already written up as
I know this has happened to many of us many times.
Thanks,
