[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Private school teachers are notoriously underpaid. That's why some people do it[/quote] So it’s charity. The $500+ in gift cards they get will allow them to buy presents for their kids. I would be humiliated if I were a teacher and this is the reason parents give me gift cards.[/quote] The average public school teacher makes about $72,000 a year. Massachusetts, California, New York make averages over 90k a year. The cost of living is highest in these three states. New teachers do make less but their salaries go up with experience. They don’t need gift cards to buy gifts for their children any more than people working most jobs. They are gifts of appreciation, no different than employees getting bonuses. [/quote]
