Re: [LM_NET] Incentives for returning books-

[Matthew Strickland <mds_99@BELLSOUTH.NET>]

I have enjoyed reading the incentive ideas. Last year it seemed that I had more 
overdues than in past years for some reason despite what I thought  was myself and 
assistant being more "vigilant" with overdue notices,reminders,etc. I would be 
interested in trying some of the incentive ideas this year.

My question for those of you currently using these ideas though is how do you 
handle it when there is a class with one or two kids who have had books overdue for 
months that they either can't or won't find or pay for , therefore making it 
impossible for their class to ever totally have all books returned/nothing overdue? 
Do you just make exceptions and not count them against the class total or how do 
you handle those situations?
