[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Write a really nice card. The more specific, the better. I keep these in my desk as mood boosters on the toughest days. [/quote]

This! I love getting cards! Honestly, that means more to me than a gift certificate.

I also read them on rough days. Old cards have actually kept me from quitting. I had a really rough week last year, hitting rock bottom. It was a stack of old cards that helped me clearly see reasons I should stay. [b]Teachers don’t get a ton of kind words.[/b]

So the handwritten notes at the beginning of the school year, the holidays, and Teacher Appreciation Week that I write along with a gift card are not enough for you? Good to freaking know.[/quote]

I’m the PP. I’m surprised you took it that way.

No, we don’t receive a lot. Thank you, sincerely, for the cards at these different times of year. This isn’t usual, however. I teach 150 students. I may get 3 cards. I wrote over 40 letters of recommendation last year. I received one thank you note.

I’m not trying to insult you. On the contrary, I’m trying to explain just how impactful those cards can be. I’m not asking for money, gifts, or anything else. Heck, I’m not even asking for cards! I’m just expressing gratitude for when it happens. [/quote]
