[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I personally think teachers are nothing short of heroes, but I choose not to participate in the PTA run "this is how we are showing appreciation" actvities.  I opt to find my own ways to express appreciation, and also make sure that my children do as well.  Nothing against the PTA run stuff, its just not our thing.[/quote]

I agree with this (and thanks for the idea of just doing our own thing- still new to ES).  The room mother has turned all events/presents into something she personally did (i.e. presenting Xmas gift from class but talking about herself and appreciating teacher).  I went by the school during the same week last year and saw huge bouquets of flowers, cupcakes etc. for the staff and teachers.  Some parents do go overboard.[/quote]

It is one of those things that you learn as you go along...why should the PTA president get all the credit for your gift? And how do you know exactly how the money was spent? And is that your idea of how to thank your child's teacher? Now, we do what we think the teacher would like the most, ourselves.[/quote]
