I said, that, until he does tell who else was involved, he's the only one I know who was and therefore the only one who'd be punished.
Punishing someone for doing the right thing?
I don't know in what weird kind of education system you grew up, but covering up for bad behaviour of fellow classmates, especially after admitting knowledge, does not constitute 'doing the right thing' over here.
Perhaps it escaped your notice that the ENTIRE CLASS is covering up for bad behaviour?
I'll kindly ask you once to not derail this thread with your insipid trolling.

Because I'm not singling him out, he's singled himself out, by admitting he hid the books, ie was involved and added to that not admitting who else was involved.

It is also unreasonable of you to expect the pupil who returned the items to rat out his classmates. You might as well get your branding iron out and sear the word GRASS into his forehead.
It's got fuck all to do with what can be expected from children. They still need to learn how to behave.
It's also not a reasonable expectations to expect pupils to never misbehave, doesn't mean they don't get corrected and/or punished for it.

A correct course of action would be to punish the classmembers who didn't return the books, ie all of them except this one.
Horseshit.
