[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want to start saying that I am not American and grew up in Europe. My kids go to private schools and we have been giving gift cards ($25-100) per teacher every year. I am trying to understand why we do this. I do it because of peer pressure. All other parents/kids bring gift cards and I don’t want my kids to be the only ones that do not. Why do other people in American do this? We have never done this in my home country. I think teachers (who are professionals) would be offended to receive a gift card. I think a special gift or a home made card would be nice to show appreciation… money is offensive in my opinion. It seems to come from a “thanking the help” place and not a nice genuine desire to thank these professionals that teach our children. [b]Please don’t say that I don’t have to. I feel compelled to when everyone else does it.[/b] [/quote] Grow a spine.[/quote]
