[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not like giving gifts to people that evaluate me or my kid because I do not like receiving gifts from people who I evaluate.  I want there to be no misunderstanding that the evaluation is based solely on merit.  No one should expect anything in exchange for the gift....if they do, it becomes a bribe.

With that said, I have no problem with whole class gifts, if it is clear it is from all and singles out no one.  [/quote]

I work under the assumption that my kids' teachers are professionals whose regard cannot be bought for a basket of cookies and a $25 Barnes and Nobles gift card.[/quote]

Oh please  :roll:

We gave only a basket of baked goods that will be stuck in the teacher's lounge and trashed, and now the teacher is going to give my child all 2s and never pick him for class helper.  Susie's parents gave her a $50.00 Visa gift card, and now she is guaranteed all 4s, a 16 on her AAP evaluation, and she gets to pass out papers for the rest of the year.

Do you see how stupid that sounds?  I mean [i]really[/i].  Do you seriously think a teacher's regard can be bought and his/her assessments tainted over a gift card?  [i]Really?[/i]  I really hope you don't actually view your kids' teachers in this way.  [/quote]
