[quote=Anonymous]I can see it both ways. On the one hand, you don't want it becoming obscene, like the Hermes scarves, or the implication that I must appreciate the teacher more than you because we gave $100 and you gave $20. It levels the playing field, so to speak, which I think is good. On the other hand, our DC is still in preschool and I know how poorly teachers are paid at that level. A teacher had a death in her family earlier this year and the school community took up a collection to help pay funeral expenses. I hate that these people who are so amazing to my child are paid so little. I try to give $50-100 per teacher, not to show off how much we can afford, but because I hope that class and individual gifts can be financially meaningful to those working hourly wages to care for and teach our kids.[/quote]
