[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. It’s also this notion from the do-everything joiner moms that if we don’t constantly lavish the teachers with effort and attention and gifts then we must not appreciate them very much. In my neighborhood you are definitely expected to help with the many many teacher appreciation things throughout the year. Same with donating to food banks, giving trees, etc. People will share over and over on social media and then when they don’t get enough participants they start texting the signup geniuses “in case you didn’t see this.” The implication is 100% that you WILL participate.[/quote]

Just don't.  Our PTA has done multiple donation requests over the past few weeks and enough is enough.  Just get your teachers gift cards and be done with it.  It makes some people feel good to donate around the holidays.  Its kinda sad as these people only do it at the holidays and forget people need help all year round.

Your teacher would probably far prefer tissues, cleaning supplies, books, games for recess and school supplies over the random junk given or a gift card to go buy what they want/need.[/quote]
