[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP- I just feel that if I can’t give my child will be singled and and it will be noticed by the teacher. It doesn’t feel fair. We don’t go out and buy new gifts for our own kids, we get a lot of hand me downs, which we appreciate. I just wish this practice wasn’t done. [/quote] The point of the group gift is that kids are not singled out because they did not contribute. Since the gift is from the generic class, the Teacher doesn't know who donated and who did not. We are in a good place so we contribute more then other families. We know that some families do not contribute. The class average ends up being $25 a family at our school and I know that is because there are those of us who donate more. And that is fine. If it mattered to me that the Teacher knew we donated X amount we would give a separate gift. Don't give if you cannot. Ask your child to write a card and deliver that. That is what you can do and that is great. [/quote]
