I'm not surprised, I've seen enough American movies and TV shows to realize that.

Some are connected to the city library system as well. Decentralization of books isnt something I necessarily like. But libraries make for good study areas and sometimes have really nice old books that smell lovely. I'm surprised you're surprised. Go watch The Breakfast Club to see an awesome high school library.
But yes, I've never understood it in those movies or TV shows either. What can a school library offer that a city library can't? Study areas, sure, but a study hall will do that job just as well. In primary school it might be useful to have a limited number of books for students who work faster or whatnot, but in a HS, where letting students read books during classes isn't really done (as far as I'm aware, it isn't here anyway), I don't see the point.

I think this may mark the first time you and I have completely agreed on a subject. *NM*

I thought about making a post, but it would be a poor version of this one. I agree completely. *NM*

I'd be shocked, except that I'm not sure why a HS needs a library in the first place.

Most high schools have libraries.

I think this is probably a good decision.

For colleges it's a very different story, imho.

You're betraying your lack of humanities (ha!) here.

Yes. No one writing directly from wikipedia should BE in college.

They still have physical classrooms, and they're whining about "outdated technology"? Pfft. *NM*

Yeah, you can actually. Have you tried curling up with an eBook reader?

Just because you're unnaturally attuned to "new" things doesn't mean everyone is.

I agree, but students going to a prep school probably don't have financial problems. *NM*

You're telling the wrong person; he has a form he wants them to observe.
