[quote=Anonymous]Our kid’s school has room parents that collect “dues” at the beginning of the school year from each family. At first, I liked this idea as I was told it would cover class parties to teacher gifts. That’s until, I became friends with one of the room parents and found out that they were giving the teacher $100 gift card and a bottle of wine for their end-of-the-year gift and $75 for their Christmas gift. We had 23 students in the class this year. That’s $4.35 per a child for their end of the year gift or $3.26 per child for Christmas. How insulting to the teacher. I asked our kid if any of the other kids brought the teacher gifts the last day of school. Our kid said 1 kid gave a water bottle and another handed a teacher a gift card. Thankfully, we gave the teacher a massage certificate. You could tell the teacher was beyond grateful for this because we got a long handwritten card telling us how much she appreciated our gift.

Lesson Learned: If the room parents say that they “have it covered”, send your own gift. [/quote]
