[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I taught, I was deeply touched by every gift, regardless of what it was or whether I needed/used it. [/quote] I agree. I taught at a school that had primarily low income students. I was very clear with the students that I did not expect to receive gifts.... the best “gift” they could give me was to enjoy learning in my class and to work really hard. But, these kids really wanted to give something. I can’t count the number of half-used Avon perfume I received, or the votive candles that were half burned. Knowing that these students did not have a lot of money or belongings, I was touched that they thought of me and just gave them a big thank you and a hug. Teachers do not expect gifts. As parents, the best thing you can give them is a card or letter expressing your gratitude. Really. Those are the best “gifts” I ever received and the only things I still have 30 years later.
