[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers are more likely to be treated as professionals when others view them as professionals --- these special favors, special caretaking, doesn't help with their image. It's excessive.[/quote]
My non-teacher husband gets special meals, treats and gifts at work all the time as do many other professions[/quote]

So true. My husband is always going out to lunches and dinners with clients. He’s a paid professional and receives gifts, alcohol and sports tickets at random times throughout the year.

[b]But seriously, as a teacher I do not want these snacks. I’d love tissues. Please donate tissues if you want to send something. We are buying cases for our classrooms all year. Food often sits in the teachers lounge and no one goes in there.[/b]  [/quote]

I personally hate the snack cart and I refuse to donate brownies or cakes or whatever else to teachers.  You're an adult.  Bring your own snack to work.  BUT I would happily donate tissues or whatever else teachers need to support their classrooms.  Parents just don't ever hear about those needs.  I wish there was some way to get the word out...I bet you would get a ton of useful donations! A SignUp genius for Ms. Smith who needs glue sticks and pencils? I'm in! [/quote]

Thank you. I’m in a high school and have tried putting tissues on the syllabus as an optional supply for the course.  I’ve received 2-3 boxes and don’t even list them anymore. To the PTA parents - Please remember the basics like tissues and hand wipes when your children become older.  The classes need them more than ever with food allergies and kids coming in eating. Teachers buy them.   Skip the food. [/quote]
