Well, it sounds really horrible when you put it like that. It's not like they took the books away forever or said we weren't allowed to read them. They just wanted to encourage us to socialize and develop social skills. It would be kind of remiss of them to not encourage students to branch out and work on their areas of trouble. Sure, I hated it at the time, and I never did fit in, but I bet that I get along better today than I would have if they didn't sometimes take away my books.
