[quote=Anonymous]As a teacher I most enjoy people who write cards that show appreciation and talk about positive impacts of my teaching. That to me is the most rewarding, you work hard day in and day out, and there are many hard days but knowing that you are making a difference and having people acknowledge that is what I value most. Money and gift cards are always a little awkward. yes, I love having more money but I do often feel like those parents expect something in return. As though I should do more for their child than other kids or let more slide or not be as critical because they have given me money. For some parents this is why they give...other parents just give as a gift and forget about it and never associate it again with the teaching but as a teacher it is hard to know which parents fall into which group! I have had parents 4 months later refer to the money/gift they gave me at Christmas. [/quote]
