[quote=Anonymous] Sigh. No gifts. There are people on this board who will excoriate you for not giving gifts cards for all the teachers, tutors, therapists, instructors, coaches, and service people in your life. The truth is, that's not how you build a healthy and respectful relationship. When you (or your kids) are respectful of their expertise and time, and don't cause trouble, 365 days of the year, that is the gift in the relationship. The person who is already hired and paid (by you, or a public or private entity) will respect you just fine if you respect them all year. A gift card won't change that. And for the rare person who expects a gift and thinks less of you for not handing one over... that's not a person you want to encourage. - parent of a college freshman and middle schooler with lots of experience.
