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]

[b]If you are an educator, surely you know to place the punctuation inside the quotes, like "this."[/b]   (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.

That is a question of style, actually. The American style puts the punctuation inside the quotation marks, whereas the British style puts it outside. The British style makes more sense, and it is also becoming more prevalent.
