[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This happened to me last year in K. We had always had a suggested contribution of $100 per child at our preschool for holiday gifts, so I contributed $100 to our K class fund which was to be split between lead and assistant teacher.  The full gift amount collected was $800, so I had contributed 1/8 of it.  I am also confused, and do not know what you're missing (because I'm missing it too!).  To solve for it this year, I just contributed less to the class fund (I think I gave $25 at the holidays) but have taken other opportunities to gift to my son's first grade teacher (i.e. gift cards for other random reasons like "back to school", valentines day, "happy spring break").

Holeeeee crap. $100 per child?! At Christmas when I'm stretched thin? Hell no.

Op, donate $10 to the group gift so that you don't look like a scrooge, and then get the teacher a bigger gift card just from your kid. Or tell room mom "oh shoot, I shopped ahead and bought end of the year gifts for my kids' teachers already. Thank you  for all your hard work this year!" [/quote]
