[quote=Anonymous]Well, I am not from China and am a third generation teacher. Frankly, I don't need to be fed by PTAs or PTSAs which are doing nothing more than currying favor with teachers usually to benefit their own children. I love to earn the respect of students and parents and I am vehemently opposed to any form of gift giving. Drop me a note of appreciation, or drop by and express your appreciation in person and I am more than happy. Yes, private school parents do shower teachers with gifts. So do parents in the wealthier parts of this county. That, by no means is justification to carry on the practice. Talk about equity? Then only allow things any parent can afford to do--express words of thanks. [/quote]
