[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We think you’re underpaid and want to give you money to help make up the gap.  But it’s tacky/not acceptable to give you cash so we give you gift cards.  We make crazy salaries for doing far less actual work than you do, so please, just take our money.  [/quote]

I'm an OOSer, but I think this is an accurate take.

Teacher, if you're uncomfortable with the money, I'd suggest spending it back on the classroom or school.  To improve something that bugs you or to buy a classroom resource that is a luxury item.

TJ has a national reputation but surely there's something that could be done better?

We read a lot about how terribly teachers are treated.  It makes people want to help the teachers close to them.

I would like to give my kid's teachers gift cards but it is strange where I live.  So, I helped set up the faculty lounge for teacher appreciation week and I did write personal notes at Christmas.

If nothing else, you could spend the funds at Donors Choose.

Thanks for helping kids realize their potential![/quote]
