Some of our elementary libraries actually promote this policy of exchanging a book
from home for the one lost. I have to politely decline their offer, and instead
hold them to replacing the exact title lost,

Something I've puzzled over this year that just now makes sense in light of
comments in this thread: Numerous high-school students, when faced with a
possibly lost book, have asked if they could "trade" one of their personal books
from home for the title that was lost. That was a new one on me, but now I'm
wondering if it ties in with patronage of those business that allow gamers to trade
in used video games on new ones. "Oh, the times, they are a-changin'. . ."

I have the same confusion going on here in our school and it is not just
the sixth graders. I agree with you, we need to actually go over very
basic responsibilities of borrowing and returning.
