How wonderful. Those principals eager to turn students into machine oriented scholars forgot the world and infinite possibilities of books and of the teacher libraries not bound by linear or lateral approaches, going wherever interest, delight ,new possibilities take the young and the older did terrible damage but it can be undone by principals who r refuse to be bound by such short-sighted, egotistical errors of judgment.
