[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like how OP responds to several posts, but can’t take two seconds to explain why donating the gift cards to the staff of a nursing home would be such a horrible idea.[/quote]

I thought I was clear: I don’t feel comfortable getting gift cards (or any gifts for that matter) from my students. It makes me feel awkward, it stresses me out. I tried to explain my reasons the best I could. I do not want to handle any money gifted to me by students. If you really care about the teachers, may be ask if they are ok with receiving gifts or if they would like class supplies or whatever other ideas you might have. If you ask me, I would say I really appreciate the thought but I don’t need anything, thank you! Than you and I are happy! Why do you need to insult me??

Especially as, as I just learned from the link posted above, many of these gifts (over $50) are violation of the FCPS policy. [/quote]

Ohhhh, so you weren’t raised right? Those who were know that even when you receive a gift you don’t want or don’t like, you take it, you say THANK YOU, and then you are not obligated to keep it. Do tell why you don’t just donate to the staff of a nursing home or the volunteers at the fire station? Tell us why you think it’s more becoming to whine and to discourage us from celebrating other teachers—those who are appreciative and less entitled—than to simply donate unwanted gifts. [/quote]
