$20 limit on gifts to teachers, who can, per policy, get fired for accepting more.

If your school is like mine, buy teachers pencils and some copying paper. We could use it.

More shortages on these items already?

It's also funny to me how nursing the other big pink collar career has their week around the same time. It's like an annual "gaslight the women" week.

SO true! Has always felt that way. Teacher Appreciation week could coincide with thanks giving month. But all these days are plain stupid. Take Mother's DAY. That woman gave birth to you and she only gets ONE official F day???

Lets be real. We should be raising awareness that our society has no appreciation or respect for teachers.

Teachers have become the scapegoat for cramming 30+ students in a classroom and for districts that can't provide academic rigor or safety.

Time. I could really use a day (that isn’t my Saturday and Sunday) to catch up.

But since that isn’t a possibility, my answer is a nice email. I got one yesterday from a parent. She told me she appreciated the feedback I’ve been giving on assignments and that she knows I’m probably doing that on my own time. It was a wonderful email, and it put a smile on my face that lasted the rest of the day.

My principal already was reminding staff and students to pick pencils off the floor so they don't get thrown away.

I attended back to school night last week and noted my daughter's teacher already had a bunch of dead dry erase markers (the kids were using them to demonstrate a math lesson on white boards)

Teachers are not to blame for that. They are to blame for how they teach, run their classroom and other things...

Teacher needs to make sure that the caps get put back on. Advocate to the BOE. They waste so much money. There is no excuse for their mismanage of funds and staff not having supplies.

Teachers should buy their own supplies bc if you don't you could get a bad review in your eval as being unprepared. In MCPS there is little support and everything is the teachers fault

Copy paper!!! All year. It's embarrassing that there isn't copy paper. And they want less screens.
