[quote=Anonymous]I'd give more but I wouldn't give it via a group gift. $20 per teacher sounds right for that. After years of experience with kids in school I've had some bad experiences with group gifts--money that seems to disappear or is used for things that seem like a waste (like overpriced items sold by a friend of the roomparent, that sort of thing). I think as a class parent it is best to specify a maximum suggested donation, keeping in mind people's diverse financial states, and explain exactly how you will use the $. Then, after you give it, I always appreciate a follow-up email that confirms what the gift was and that it was given to Mrs. X so I know it happened. At a swanky expensive preschool we attended, the holiday policy was that each family was supposed to donate $20 per teacher that was pooled and given as a Visa gift card, and that no other gifts should be given. FWIW. [/quote]
