[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The gifts should always be modest. We can show are appreciation for the teachers at manageable numbers. In my experience, the class moms are either well meaning people, or people trying to get favor with the teachers. This year, for example, with the flowers, it was called out to take them from your garden. The $50/student is excessive. But what is worse are the parents that give large gifts individually. My favorite was the teacher that, upon being given a $100 starbucks gift card, told the parent (not the 2nd grader) that she could not accept it. It was too much. (I heard about it when the parent was complaining about the GBRS score :)). Bribery 0, teacher ethics 1. [/quote] That's why I think year end gifts given on the last day of school are most appropriate. That way you can avoid the appearance of trying to influence the teacher. [/quote]
