[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t get it twisted: [b]when parents give gifts they are trying to gain favor.[/b] That is why you don’t take gifts as an government employee. Ps- I don’t think gift takers ‘suck at life’. Who says that?? Why do boundaries & ethics trouble you so much? [/quote] Oh, come on. Is it really so hard to believe that some families just want to say "thank you" to a teacher who has done a great job for their kid this year? My kid is in pre-K and trust me, we're not trying to get inflated grades with a handwritten card and a district-approved $20 Target gift card or whatever. We literally just want to say "we appreciate everything you've done." I feel like the pandemic is making people paranoid and vicious, especially online when they can be anonymous, and this thread is my Exhibit A. Good grief, what a lot of screaming over nothing.[/quote]
