[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regarding gifting cash - what is bad about it? We are Asians and giving envelopes with cash is a part of our culture.  Everyone in at least the DMV area is pretty clued  to diverse cultural norms and till date no one has complained about it. Besides, cash can be used easily on whatever the recipient wants.  How is that disrespecting or devaluing anyone?

What do we do to show respect to our teachers?
- My children have been taught to be polite and well mannered, they don't disrupt the classroom, they follow directions, they go well prepared and ready to learn, they work hard and perform well academically, they have civic sense and they are helpful.  
- As a parent, I reach out to the school and teachers and contribute to classroom supplies, volunteer for school events, attend PTA meetings and chaperone field trips. 
- We usually give the recommended limit ($25) to all the teachers.  My kids and I include notes of appreciation to the teachers I also email a note to the most helpful teachers and cc the Principal. [/quote]

Here in this culture, only kids are given cash. By their grandparents for example. Adults don't give cash to other adults. [/quote]

I give my adult kids cash for gifts.  [/quote]

These are your own kids, very different from giving cash to an unrelated adult. [/quote]
