[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is dumb. While some teachers might appreciate the sentiment, most will feel like it's a barrier to getting to their desk as quickly as possible to do their work and an awkward situation where they have to feign excitement.

Teachers would get much more mileage out of:
- encouraging parents and kids to write a meaningful note to a teacher who has inspired or helped them
- a $5 Starbucks giftcard

I am a teacher. [/quote]
there was a thread a while ago during xmas by some teacher who lamented all the starbucks gift cards they got.  I was trying to think of something else other than Target gift cards, so I got them starbucks cards. I've since gone back to Target cards.

When my kids tell me how much they like xyz teacher (both in HS), I always tell them that they should write them a quick note telling them this because I'm sure teachers are burnt out and under appreciated.  I always appreciate it when I get "job well done.. kudos" type emails from people at work.[/quote]
