Re: [LM_NET] Music teacher vent

[Debra Allen <kidsbooks2002@YAHOO.COM>]

I believe the classroom teacher knows the child's needs better than I, so I respect 
any such call to keep a child from library to meet other needs.  I'm here for the 
child's sake, not for the sake of my curriculum or lesson plans.
