[quote=Anonymous]It is unfortunate that some of the comments about cash gifts are ungrateful and ugly... and will probably cause more than one parent from giving any teacher gifts.  I mean really, what is wrong with giving a gift of cash?  In many cultures it is perfectly acceptable to give cash gifts.  Also, isn't it the thought that counts... that a family/parent thought enough of their child(ren)'s teacher to give a gift to show appreciation; whether it's $20 cash, a $20 mug, a $20 gift certificate or even $100 of whatever? The idea that any teacher could be bribed by a $100 is absurd and is an insult to teachers.  Although $100 is large gift for many people to give or recieve, it may not be for others.  The ungrateful teacher who posted above about accepting the $100 cash gift and than joking about that child getting into upper school based on bribes is a classless gossip and hopefully no longer in any classroom influencing children with that type of attitude.  If these teachers were so incensed/offended about receiving gifts of cash they should have graciously declined the gifts and/or asked the administration to issue policies no gifts, no gifts of cash, etc., but they should not take the gifts and then talk about the families and students behind their backs.  That's just disgusting behavior.[/quote]
