[quote=Anonymous]I always remember teachers getting token gifts. I imagine one day that someone thought, hey, instead of the teacher getting 30 useless pieces of crap, maybe we could all get together and get them something good. I appreciate the people who make the effort to manage the gift. For coaches, these are busy parents who take time to prepare and teach the kids. They show up for practices and games, they put up with misbehaved kids, and they deal with slack ass parents who drop thier kids off and don't show up for an hour after practice is over. For baseball, they even have to attend training. If you are not willing to contribute $10 for people who do this, maybe your kid should not play sports. Sports teams only exist because parents are willing to volunteer. If you are unable to give $10, then don't. No one expects people to donate if they cannot afford it. [/quote]
