[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP - Any thoughts on what the expected mount is for the classroom donation (aka dues, I guess)? We got a cryptic email from the room parent about this one-time donation for the year, but they said that they were not allowed to suggest an amount (but I could tell from the tone that they seemed to have some number in mind as they hinted at "how much you would spend for X, Y, Z things for Teachers A, B, and C").  This is at a N. Arlington elementary and it's our first year there, so I don't really have a good read on it.[/quote]
I haven't encountered that but I'd give $20-50[/quote]

I found that most parents are cheap. Having been a room parent myself, it’s amazing how many people donate five dollars per teacher. Really? Gift for your child’s teachers for the whole year is less than a Starbucks drink? There are always 2 to 3 very generous parents so an all even out. I understand that some families can’t afford much, but those are not the ones I’m referring to. Moms driving Range Rovers, donating five dollars. 🙄[/quote]

What other profession expects their clients to all give them gifts each year? [/quote]

You aren’t the teacher’s client.[/quote]
