[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Big difference between school experiences here. Teacher in a title 1 school and never received a class gift. I always received a ton of gifts, but a very rare $25 was definitely the most. Now Im a parent in a very gentrified, but still Title 1 school and I am absolutely appalled at how much the class collects for the teachers at Christmas and end of the year.[/quote] How much?[/quote] I'm a room parent in a diverse (but not Title I) ES school and last year, we asked for $5-$15 each and collected $70 from a class of 28 kids. My BFF lives in McLean and she said that she was asked to contribute $25-$50 towards the class gift and that the norm is to contribute to the class gift PLUS give individual gifts, if that gives you any sense of what they get in nicer areas. I'm sure it's even more in other places, I've read about the $1000 PTA requests in some parts of DC.[/quote]
