[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I prefer when room parents calculate the various gifts throughout the year and ask for a suggested amount up front at the beginning of the year. That said, my mom was a teacher and I find it ridiculous that our teachers are regularly getting $500 gift cards multiple times a year - yes they work hard, but honestly the teachers in the less fortunate neighborhoods work harder, spend more of their own $$ and get much less (we have a family friend who teaches at one school, so I asked her). Maybe consider matching your annual gift to a less fortunate school?[/quote]

Do you work? Do you get a holiday or annual bonus? Is it at least $500? For many, many people in this area the answer to that is yes. Why shouldn't teachers receive bonuses as well? [/quote]

Don’t they? Do teachers receive no bonus or performance money or end of the year money from their managers?[/quote]

No we do not. It’s possible if you get a perfect evaluation but it’s almost unheard of.[/quote]
