[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What a bunch of tightwads you are all.

Poor kids shouldn't get presents

[b]Teachers don't deserve a gift over $20[/b]

Got it.  [/quote]

Teachers are not legally allowed to accept a gift over $20. That has nothing to do with what they do or don't deserve.

Well I have given every one of my kid's teachers min $50 gift card/gift for winter and end of year and no one ever returns it.   I also give my mailman, trashmen, hair dresser etc... big holiday tips.  Do they have a minimum?  What a stupid policy.  [/quote]

As an educator, I find it highly offensive that you feel you should "tip" me.  I'm not your "help".  I am a professional, and I have several years' experience, so I make close to six figures for 10 months of work.  I deserve that, and I'm compensated for my work.  I am not a service professional, like a hairdresser, who does not make a salary.  I probably have better health insurance than you do.  I don't need your "tip".  [/quote]

If you are an educator, surely you know to place the punctuation inside the quotes, like "this."   (missed it twice)
p.s.  I am not the tipper pp, but I do provide my DC's teacher with a holiday gift card bonus.
