[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most teachers are practical. The original question was pretty much asking what is not a practical gift for you. It doesn't speak for all teachers.
 It doesn't mean that teachers are not appreciative. It doesn't even mean that teachers expect presents. What it asked was in your experience what is a gift that you receive that you don't find useful. What do people keep twisting it around? [quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do people assume teachers need hundreds of dollars worth of Starbucks?

I received both and was very happy that I did.

I don’t understand teacher dissatisfaction with GIFTS. From STUDENTS-people who don’t have to give you a damned thing!

I did get an over abundance of chocolates. I won’t be able to eat it all in a year. Nor will I try. But I appreciated the hell out of the thought.[/quote][/quote]

1. Most PEOPLE in general are practical.

2. STARBUCKS gift cards are INDEED PRACTICAL gifts for TEACHERS. You may not drink coffee, but you don't have to be a genius to notice all the coffee mugs and cups being held by teachers in Kiss in Ride lines, every single time you enter a school building or when you're in a conference and look onto a teachers desk.

3. It seems that what's practical for MOST teachers is not so for YOU. Therefore, YOU are the one twisting things.

4. Asking about a gift you did not find 'useful' smacks of extreme ungratefulness.[/quote]
