[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We give $25-30 at holiday and sometimes at the end of the school year. Then for each child we have them identify 4/5 teachers that have had the greatest impact on their HS years right before graduation. We have them right a note and include $100 - they give them the last day or two of school. 
IMO teachers are not paid enough.[/quote]

This is what we do too. 
They obviously do it for the love of the job and not for the money.
And the ones who love their job and really make the class amazing for our kids are the ones that COINCIDENTALLY (!!) have the greatest impact to our kids and stand out and get the gifts. Always cash. IDC if it's inappropriate or awkward. It's coming from a place deep in my heart that these people are amazing at their jobs. Not many could do it (I could not.) and they do it with verve![/quote]

I’m that type of teacher. PLEASE care about how it is received. Yes, it’s awkward. It puts me in the position to either give it back to you or to find a way to donate it.

A thank you note is best! I’ll keep that for the remainder of my career. [/quote]
