[quote=Anonymous]DD is at a private school and we celebrate 4 times for the teachers during the year (birthday, christmas - christian school, teacher appreciation week, and end of the year gift). Rather than hit parents up for money before each event or ask them to send something 4 times we (room parents) ask for money up front at the beginning of each year. DD's class this year has 2 teachers (pre-k) and 16 students. Only one didn't contribute, she decided to do her own Christmas gift, and when asked if she wanted to contribute anything for teacher appreciation week (big at our school, the PTO does a huge thing for the teachers as well), bring in cupcakes/cookies or something one day, she ignored us. Of course we weren't going to single out one child, so still told the teachers the gifts were from everyone, but there's definitely a label now for this one family. We don't care if they don't have the money, if that's the case just tell us, don't ignore us, be rude, etc.

So yes, you will be labeled. The teacher is obviously getting paid but if you think they're doing a great job why not show it? [/quote]
