[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's possible some parents prefer to do their own givings for the teacher and don't want to do a group gift. [/quote] I'm the PP whose room mom collected $40 from nearly every parent in the class at a North Arlington elementary. This sort of thing doesn't really apply to the wealthier districts. Plenty of parents give individual end of year and holiday gifts, but they still kick in to the class fund. If OP is in a place like McLean or wherever, there's absolutely no way 7 parents in the classroom are ideological enough about their $25 dollars to save it and put it towards an individual gift. There is, however, a high possibility that they weren't asked in the most effective manner (email alone is too easy to ignore), and that she made it too difficult for the more disorganized among them to remember (no envelope that will sit on their kitchen counter for a couple of days until they remember to cut the check).[/quote]
