Me for one.  But, there are some inexpensive things people can make for these type of events.  Brownies for one - you can buy a mix for $1 and add oil and an egg.  I actually think that given that we do teacher appreciation days (and I am not commenting on my feeling about them), asking for baked goods is a way that most everyone can participate.

I wish someone would bring baked goods and lunch to my office several times a year.  Maybe teachers could get together and have a baking evening - heck, they have plenty of time in the evenings, what with not needing to take care of their kids; make dinner; or do take-home work of any kind.

/sarcasm

It is not easy for everyone to bake (or cook lunch), nor is it convenient for everyone to drop food off at whatever the designated time is for these things.  I resent being asked to provide food routinely to people who are workers just as I am, and whose lives pose the same challenges mine does.  So, I don't participate.  Twice a year (holidays and June) I give teachers gifts and thank-you notes for what they do for my child.

Enough already.[/quote]
