[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS should just spell it out and say individual gifts much be valued at under blah blah dollars. Government employees have strict guidelines. I give teacher gift cards, but I have seen the giving abused. One mom told me she gave every teacher who wrote her son a rec for college $200 check. He got great recs, but then you question if they were legit. The teachers accepted the money. Tacky.[/quote]

To clarify, the $200 was given to thank them in advance, not after the rec was done.[/quote]

Okay, I'm confused. So did the mother give the check to "every teacher who WROTE" (as in already written) her child a college rec, as stated in the first post? Or was it given to them before they wrote it?

Either way, most recs are confidential so they could've received the gift then wrote whatever they wanted. OR, they could've accepted the gift then been thrilled to write the recs for him afterwards because he's such an awesome kid. The money had been given. What was the mom gonna do? Demand it back? Sue to get it back? She would never want to reveal that she'd tried to bribe the teachers.

I think you're either a bit jealous that her kid rightfully received great recs or your an anti-teacher who wants to discourage gift giving.
