[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is about to graduate high school and from the time he entered Kindergarten, I saw what a ridiculous event that was. I spent years on the PTA board of his elementary school, and noticed so many teachers who didn't really want food (they were on diets, or were wary of home-made), and found awkward displays of gratitude, well... awkward. They'd rather have well-behaved students, receive short emails of thanks from a couple of parents, and perhaps a little gift card if you're so inclined. No food or gifts or big shows.

You've been entirely had. Stop doing whatever it is you're doing.[/quote]

All good points. I have my kids write a nice card and send in a gift card or buy something off the teacher’s Amazon wish list, which the PTA thankfully provides to all the parents. I don’t think the teachers really want another “trinket,” mug, etc. [/quote]

OP here again. I literally said I buy gift cards. How did you people interpret that as I buy “trinkets”? Honestly asking.[/quote]
