[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Private school teachers are notoriously underpaid.  That's why some people do it[/quote]

So it’s charity. The $500+ in gift cards they get will allow them to buy presents for their kids.[b] I would be humiliated [/b]if I were a teacher and this is the reason parents give me gift cards.[/quote]

So if your boss gives you $500 you would be humiliated?  What a strange response![/quote]

But it not the boss giving $500 is it? 
Any professional outside of teaching would be mortified if the people that are in their care were expected to give them gifts.  
But teachers in the US have become so spoiled with gifts, they actually put out into the universe what shildren/people should gift them.  It is so gross and narcissistic. [/quote]

Have you ever worked in an office? It's customary to send holiday gifts to your clients, generally things that are edible but sometimes other things as well. No one is mortified by this arrangement. [/quote]

Gifts TO clients.  Not FROM clients.  Are you actually stating that teachers are the [i]students[/i] clients? Really?

Ma'am. If you really want to make a difference, take this up with the other parents at your kids school. There's a culture of gift giving, maybe you can single handedly change that![/quote]
