[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Teacher has no children and I think a brief note (just one sentence) doesn't hurt her time. I'm not a tight ass, I've been helping her in the classroom as volunteer, have two children, a husband, a profession, a house, my health to take care of. Every time I receive a gift, even if it's simple, write a brief thank you note the following day or the same week.[/quote]

Wow.  Aren't you perfect?  Since she doesn't have kids, she surely has nothing else to do.  Stop giving gifts.  Please.[/quote]

[b]Don't worry. That was the last gift. You sound like zone of those teachers[/b].[/quote]

Are you OP?  I'm really astounded by how uncivil you are, and really how very out of touch.  It's irrelevant that the teacher doesn't have kids.  You have no idea what else might be going on in her life.  It's great that you're so organized that you can knock out thank yous immediately; you're not like most people.  I'm one of the PPs, and I, too, have a kid, a husband, a house, a career, and volunteer in my kid's classroom.  I'll get around to thank yous, eventually (actually, thank you notes are pretty mandatory for me, and yet I still don't usually get them out immediately or even within a few days - but they do get done).

If you're going to be rigid and judgmental about those who receive your gifts, please stop giving, because you're missing the point, particularly at this time of year.       [/quote]

Did you all forget our Thanksgiving celebration? Thanksgiving's not only to fill your belly with turkey and pumpkin pie. Every day is Thanksgiving Day.
