[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] I'm sure teachers wouldn't fault any of te children for not particiapting or for not giving an expensive gift.[/quote] I'm a former first grade teacher. The problem here is the child whose parent chooses not to participate feels terrible.[/quote] +1. At DC' s school, some parents choose not to participate because they can't afford to. At some magnet schools or AAP centers in Title I schools, there can be a huge disparity in parent wealth, and the organizing parents tend to be the more affluent ones, so often times the gift suggestions can be too much. This is especially hard for some parents if the parent has to contribute to multiple classrooms. [/quote]
