[quote=Anonymous]I’d say that it’s always been customary to acknowledge people who matter to you with thoughtful gifts. These used to be things like handmade cards or homemade cookies — given to teachers (and others) by the students. More recently, as parents have realized both that teachers are often underpaid and that they often spend considerable amounts of money for their classrooms and students, parents who can, give more tangible gifts — and gift cards are more flexible, and possibly more appreciated then yet another ceramic mug filled with drug store candy. Gifts are further constrained by limits on the types of gifts that some employees are allowed to accept, and a reluctance —that many people share — to eat homemade food (vs professionally wrapped food).
