[quote=Anonymous]We're in Arlington and some years, the room parents organized a class gift. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case this year. Our DC has an IEP and many of the teachers really have gone the extra mile so we're doing everything from restaurant gift cards to Barnes and Noble cards for them (depending on the teacher). We always write a card (and in some cases an email to the principal for DC's truly outstanding teachers) expressing our thanks. I'm personally of the view that teachers are underappreciated/underpaid in relation to what they do -- managing a class of twenty-something students, at various levels/abilities, is not easy, and then there's the bureaucracy/paperwork that they have to deal with. Every year, there are some teachers who really shine, others who are fine, and some who are just ok - but in my opinion, they all deserve thanks.[/quote]
