[quote=Anonymous]For a frame of reference, MCPS caps teacher gift amounts at $20/student. So no, that isn't a ridiculously low amount for people to contribute. Do you just have one child? In this room with two teachers? Consider yourself lucky! Other people have two or three kids and those kids have MULTIPLE teachers for core subjects. That doesn't even include specials teachers. We appreciate our children's teachers and definitely give them gifts at the holidays and end of the year, but we cannot spring for $150 a head! DS is in a private middle school. The parents' association suggested that each family contribute $40 to the holiday fund, which would be divided among all of the teachers. Those who can do more certainly do (private gifts are discouraged), but I'm sure there are those who struggle with even $40. Be happy that you are getting contributions at all and buy the teachers something thoughtful with the amount that parents contribute. [/quote]
