I don't owe you anything? You set up a fund dedicated to gifting yourself at the end of the year. So I do owe you something. [/quote]

18.44 here. are you saying that the teacher sets up a fund for the teacher's gift? that would be inappropriate IMO, but it definitely does not happen at our DCPS.  all gifts are the initiative of the parents. class parents usually organize it, contact other parents, gather the money, get a card or something for the teacher. and the gift is given on behalf of the class, even if not everybody contributed and usually parents give different amounts.  we have been at our DCPS 6 years now and each year this is how the gifts were handled [/quote]

I have never heard of this. Typically, when a PTA recommend such a fund it was because some room moms go over board the years before and the school wants to reign it in to a reasonable amount. Teachers are in this profession because they love it. I appreciate that and am willing to contribute to the gift fund.

My resentment is all those projects that requires parental involvement. I hate projects. [/quote]
