[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I came from a country where teachers at public schools are not allowed to receive any gifts from students/parents. Instead, they receive greeting cards/letters from students in holiday seasons (during the summer break and New Year).

Both of my parents were teachers at elementary school and I remember their big smile when they received cards/letters from their students. Money is not everything.[/quote]

My DD wrote the sweetest things about her teachers in the cards she made for them.  I bet it gives the teachers a much bigger smile than any gift card.

My DS, though, would never do that.  Never mind.  I'm sure the teachers will still care just as much for him!![/quote]

My old roommate (a teacher) used to come home from school the day before holiday break laden down with holiday bags.  She'd rip through them, throwing out all the notes and homebaked goods.  It wasn't even out of malice or anything like that but she just didn't like clutter (nor did we have room for it) and she also didn't want a lot of baked goods sitting around for us to eat.

Ever since then, I have been scarred by watching this and so I never do homebaked goods OR personal notes to a teacher!  AmEx gift card is the route I always go, so they can spend it on ANYTHING they want.[/quote]
