[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just give cash. Seriously. Put it in an envelope and don't make a big deal of it.[/quote]

But be reasonable. The year a few Tilden families gave $100 bills tucked in cards, I was really freaked out. I ended up plowing it back into classroom materials because ai was worried it would get me in trouble.[/quote]

I teach elementary and have received many, many gifts over $20 in my 25 years. 
i have never reported them, why would I? It’s a nice gesture from the family. I thank them and move along. Mcps has much bigger issues to deal with.[/quote]

Why would you? Because your employment agreement says you have to.

I guess rules don’t apply to you.[/quote]

My employment agreement also says that my duty day begins at 8:20 and ends at 3:50. I work beyond those hours all the time. I have not known a single colleague who has reported a gift over $20. As an mcps parent, I don’t adhere to the limit either. Sorry not sorry.[/quote]

I wouldn't either.  I give between $30 and $50 and a small token gift.  The money over the $20 is the least I can do for my kid's teachers.  [/quote]
