[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would happy to receive tissues, hand sanitizer and Clorox wipes for teacher appreciation week. Maybe they could rename STUDENT HEALTH appreciation week and parents would actually send in one box of tissues every 6 months instead of me spending 15-30 dollars a month on these supplies.

Why are people so quick to judge teachers as a lazy cheapskates who "demand" some appreciation. If you do not want to participate, then do not send anything is. No one is making you do any of this. If you do not want to buy anything then maybe send in a homemade card from you and your child. Parents on a whole hardly ever say thank you.

P.S. There are other professions that have "appreciation" days/weeks too. [/quote]

I think the schools should send out another supplies list at the end of the second quarter in January.  That way teachers would have less of a burden placed on them.  I just think parents would feel more obligated to respond to the required supplies list than to a note on the calendar saying we need Lysol and we would appreciate any contributions.  I know it shouldn't matter what the form of the request is, but I think it actually does.  I'm not suggesting this in place of teacher appreciation week, just responding to your comment.  Regarding teacher appreciation week, I think it should be teacher appreciation day and parents should send in one decent gift instead of five ridiculous gifts that the PTA or room parent comes up with.  I think some people get overwhelmed when they see a list of five random things that they need to remember.[/quote]
