[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who planned this? Every damn year, the week leading up to Mother’s Day is Teacher A-Freaking-ppreciation Week. I appreciate teachers and do more than my part to celebrate them multiple times a year—gift cards and buying from Amazon wish lists multiple times a year, contributing to numerous PTA lunches and coffee carts, volunteering as a chaperone and helping with class parties, on and on. I do gift cards, notes, and a SignUpGenius contribution for the Teacher Appreciation Week stuff.

But why must we run mother’s ragged during this specific time? It’s like squeeze all the juice out of the lemon before celebrating moms on one DAY after they’ve spent a week doing things for teachers. It’s a lot, on top of a full-time job and all the other things we do as moms.[/quote]

So don’t participate. No one is holding a gun to your head. Just for the love of God, stop WHINING.[/quote]

You are so right. OP sounds so WHINY and annoying!

Some moms are fine. And you don't have to, it’s a choice. Must be a she. She can just give a gift card with $50 Visa money and a card made by her kid. [/quote]

What? No.  She doesn’t need to “just give gift card.” No one needs to be giving gift cards and gifts to teachers throughout the year- at all. If you want to, ok.  But if you don’t, there is nothing socially unacceptable about not buying gifts or gift cards for the teacher.  Appreciation is a acknowledging and showing gratitude.   If you are grateful for your child’s teacher, you can also write a note- that is enough.  [/quote]

Oh, yeah. Some teachers has a second job.
They will appreciated your piece of paper and eat it.

Some parents don't deserve teachers[/quote]
