[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I only decide modest gift cards for 3 teachers. Art, music and home room teacher. Total yearly cost for each child is $40. I get it all within first 2 weeks of school starting. And we are not doing over the top parties, but very low cost treats.

I absolutely get to shame the parents if they don’t contribute. That is how the cookie crumbles.[/quote]

If someone is asking for any substantial amount of money from everyone in the class, I tend to wonder whether that room mom is pocketing some of the money.  I don't want to give money.  I'd prefer to send items in for class parties as needed, and I'd prefer to pick my own gifts for the teachers.  OP, just because you have some weird control freak thing going on doesn't mean that everyone else is obligated to give in to your whims.  I always sign up via SignupGenius to bring items for parties, and I buy my own gifts for my kids' teachers.  I'd laugh in your face if you appointed yourself the room parent, demanded money from me, and then tried to shame me for not contributing to the classroom or teachers in the way you deemed appropriate.

Who the hell even does class gifts for teachers beyond preschool?  It's incredibly pushy and presumptuous for you to decide how everyone else is going to show appreciation to their teachers.  [/quote]

On year the room parent collected money and bought a very expensive tacky piece of jewelry made by her friend.  After that I just decided to do my own thing.  [/quote]
