So most of the time, I'd just let things pass...unless it's one like this that will affect the well-being of all the students in general. Sure, we can pay RM50 for a new book...but if not nipped in the bud, other innocent students may be victimised.

I told her it is not the cost but the system, as it might reoccur again anytime... yes, she took a note on that too! phew.... <br />Thanks to u all who gave me encouragement and advice on what to do!

If you don't pay back, you're probably making the matter worst and causing your girl to worry as she won't know how to answer back to the school.

Everything chin-chai2 do!!! Then they get into trouble they will wriggle out of it...and they are proud that they can sort out their problems. I always told them: in the first place, if you had done it properly then there would not be a problem.<br /><br />Go! Go to the school. Speak to the library teacher! If such things can happen, there is something very wrong with the system. You may be willing to pay...but there are poor people who can hardly afford RM50 to buy food for the month. I strongly feel that you should go and settle the matter - as Hokkien says, chor phai lang! Never mind!

I would certainly discuss with the librarian the situation and perhaps the girl who keyed in the wrong name might be able to help out the situation.

After all, there is always a possibility that human error has caused the librarian to record the name wrongly. <br /><br />Like Gus, I also believe that she shouldn't just pay the fine without fighting for her rights. I believe she is assured that you are at her side, and you will fight for her, too, when the need comes.<br /><br />They may have "proof" that she borrowed the book out, and she does not have the "proof" that she did not. But maybe there were witnesses that she wasn't in the library at that time? Her friends could testify to that if necessary.<br /><br />But if human error can fabricate such a "proof", then the whole system itself is questionable.<br /><br />I believe that it is OK for you, as a mother, to get involved in this issue. It is because the money comes from YOU.<br /><br />Not that I want you to make this issue big, but it is not right for the library teacher to shift the blame to your daughter, who has committed no wrong whatsoever in the first place. If the book loan system is flawed, then the teacher must be held responsible for allowing this kind of things to happen.<br /><br />That's because if it can happen to your daughter, then it can happen to anybody else in the future.Henry Yewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17197109178060069743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-451625169248743500.post-12147332332307583552010-04-16T00:48:39.724+08:002010-04-16T00:48:39.724+08:00It's great that you are able to see things pos...It's great that you are able to see things positively, you must be a very cheerful person!Alice Lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04771321722368712404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-451625169248743500.post-36288623414028863942010-04-16T00:13:40.547+08:002010-04-16T00:13:40.547+08:00oh...pity her. can try get second hand for the boo...oh...pity her. can try get second hand for the book, probaly doesnt cost that much to get it back.Yee Linghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12017254734772466742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-451625169248743500.post-23059311443587763322010-04-15T23:28:56.066+08:002010-04-15T23:28:56.066+08:00cathJ: sigh..
