[quote=Anonymous]OP of the thread here. I ultimately decided to give each teacher home-baked cookies and a token gift that DC picked out and was really "into". Then I made DC write a note to each teacher. (DC has something like eight teachers, so writing eight notes was no small thing for DC). At the end of this year, I will give DCs homeroom teachers something equivalent to cash, like a Visa or Amazon gift card. I like and admire DCs teachers and I know they are not expecting an 18 - 22% tip like a waiter does. Yet OTOH, I have a bunch of teachers in my immediate and extended family, and from talking to them over the years I have concluded that they -- like everyone else in the USA -- like money. And since they make less of it than a grossly overpaid lobbyist for an energy company, I am going to include a little cash in the sincere thank you note I write them in May. Thanks all for your perspective.[/quote]
