[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So... don't participate.  Really, what a weird thing to get riled up about.[/quote]

I'm not riled. Just tired of it. I need a lawyer appreciation day! Someone get me a Starbucks gift card! :wink: [/quote]

Don't many lawyers get things like paid maternity leave, and year end bonuses?  If so, I'm happy to trade those for my gift card (this year I got $20 to Target).  [/quote]

no. two kids and had to take time off unpaid (and I still responded to e-mails from client and stuff like that).  the end year bonus is for people who manage to bill well above an already very high amount of hours, not very easy, at least in my practice

I don't agree with OP though, my kids are in DCPS and class parents usually gather money for a Christmas gift and one end of the year gift (participating is obviously not mandatory, the gift is in the name of the class regardless of who participated and who did not, parents can give the amount they want).  during teacher appreciation week parents bring things for a breakfast (again, totally voluntary). I am often busy, donate through paypal, thanks with all my heart the parents who take time to take care of this and I am happy. If you don't want to donate, don't do it.    [/quote]
