[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do not ignore the $20 rule.  [/quote]

I have been ignoring this rule for the past 10 years.  MCPS has lots of silly rules and this is one of them.  We are at a lower-income school and we are not wealthy by DCUM standards (if we were, my kids would be in private).

But teaching in MCPS is hard.  MCPS doesn’t seem to support teachers the way it should.

So, when my kids have had a good teacher, I do a $50 gift card at the end of the year with a nice note and sometimes a nice note emailed to the principal to go into that teacher’s file.

MCPS can suck it.  $20 is ridiculous.  When was that rule even implemented?  With inflation and how much things cost now, I have even upped how much I give elementary aged kids gifts for birthdays.  Used to do $20 or $25 and have upped that up to $30.  Why wouldn’t I do the same for teachers?[/quote]

I know more than one MCPS teacher who gives away all gift cards over $20...so you might think you are being super wonderful but he or she may get no benefit at all.[/quote]
