I love it when they didn't check the book out but somehow took an AR test on
it!

Subject: Re: [LM_NET] GEN I've been smoked
I think we all could tell horror stories about overdue books. I wish I had
a nickel for every kid who never checked the book out/returned it so someone
else must have it. I wouldn't have to deal with overdues anymore and could
spend my winters in a warm climate! As I keep asking my aide, "What are the
chances that the very book the kid has on his record got returned, put on
the shelf without being checked in, then another kid took it out of the
library without checking it out?" Both wrong things happen, but on every
book that just happens to be one I'm looking for. I don't think so.
This week I had one of the secretaries in the district's daughter turn up
with an overdue. She of course told me she never checked it out. I said we
don't just check out books to people for the heck of it. She went right to
her mother (never even looked for the book). Mother of course got involved.
"I see all the books she brings home, that one never came home". You guys
know the drill. The girl is a sixth grader. Mom is crazy if she thinks she
knows everything about her daughter's life. They even got the teacher
involved. Teacher has never seen kid check out a "big" book. I'm sure it's
in her locker, or lost in a classroom AR tub if anybody would bother to look
for it.
I can't wait for next week when I mail the letters home to get the books
back for the summer to see what excuses people come up with this year!
