[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the teacher with the cop husband above.

If a student and/or parent hand makes me cookies, I will be really touched that they did so.  I will eat some in front of the student to show how I am grateful, and I will take some home.

If a student or parent provides store bought cookies, I might eat them if it's an event at a time where I'm hungry or I might not.  I won't take them into my house to eat, but if they are packaged I will find some place to donate them.

But I wouldn't exactly say I want cookies.  [b]I have a kid who loves to bake.  We already have a lot of cookies.  I don't need more.  [/b]

If you want to make me happy spend 3 minutes writing a thank you note, or have your kid do it.  Way cheaper and faster and better for my waistline.    [/quote]

So if your own kid wanted to bake their teacher cookies, what would you tell them?  I hate to discourage my kids when they get their own idea about a gift, but it seems like they are generally not wanted.....[/quote]

PP you are quoting.  I’m not sure why hour take away from “I am touched to receive them, eat them and take them home” is that I don’t like them.

My kid does bake cookies for teachers.  I assume they are like me and appreciate the gesture.  I suggest he make a smaller quantity of something more labor intensive, so every teacher maybe gets 2 or 4 wrapped with ribbon.  I also suggest  that maybe he pick a random time and not the week before Christmas or Teacher Appreciation Week.
