[quote=Anonymous]My preferred mode of appreciation is a thank you letter, detailing exactly why I am grateful to this person. Anyone can write a thank you letter, therefore it does not introduce an economic bias in the relationship. Also it limits the number of people who receive such a letter, since instead of smothering everyone in sight with insincere sentiments or filthy lucre, it forces you to think about what this person brought into your life or your child's life.

I hate tipping educated professionals (whatever their stipends or salaries) just as I hate paying my friends. A relationship as important as my good friends or my children's teachers should not be influenced by cash. Actually I really do not approve of tipping anybody whom I already pay for services. Other developed countries do not have this tipping frenzy and their children are well looked after at camp and school regardless.

I do contribute to the end of year gift at school - since the cash that I give the room parent will be converted into a spa day, or some other gift the teacher has hinted at.
