Those are not appropriate things to do for a teacher.

It's amazing how many people on DCUM think they're so great when they do this. Meanwhile, the teachers and the rest of us inwardly cringe.

But don't read the thread?

This is not appropriate when responding to a post.

It's amazing how you think your response is wanted or valuable.[/quote]

I've read the thread, my dear, and it's rubbish. As a teacher I wouldn't want anything except sincere (therefore infrequent) expressions of appreciation, like a little card or photo or letter. Something personal, that didn't cost much. A verbal thank you for something specific I did during the year is quite enough! As well as constructive suggestions on how something could have worked out better.

The rest seems like bribes, honestly.

However, you never know what teacher you are going to get. I knew one who pounced on all the gift cards, and threw away the rest, even the children's hand-written notes... in front of them.
