[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I call and email a lot - always be polite and thank them profusely.  [b]I always give generous gifts to the teacher for holidays, including Valentine's Day. [/b] You have a partnership with the teacher and that requires communication. [/quote]

Ugh.  How is giving a generous gift  to your kid's teacher fostering a "partnership?"  [/quote]

Basically that poster is saying bribing is an effective communication tool, and that s/he is happy to do it.

This is worse than pestering the teacher with constant emails. Medal for least ethical goes to you, "generous gift" poster!

I took this as a joke....I mean, really? Valentine's Day?  Who has time to suck up that much?  [/quote]

You'd be amazed.  One parent in one of my children's elementary school classes gave gifts to every single kid in the class at every holiday (Halloween, Thanksgiving, etc etc).  Very bizarre and awkward.  I assume the teachers also received these embarrassing gifts.[/quote]
