Unlike waiters, teachers are paid a living wage. Tipping a waiter is his payment. The teacher is paid a salary and does not need a tip. [/quote]

It may be true in the wealthier districts, but there's [b]plenty of news articles about teachers who are receiving public assistance[/b].  But think whatever you need to justify being cheap and letting others appreciate the teachers in your name with their money.[/quote]
Actually, you giant presumptuous ass, the teacher makes more than I do.[/quote]

+1  This whole thread smacks of wealth privilege.  Teachers are relatively well paid professionals in the grand scheme of things, and in the NoVa area are earning $50,000+.  There are many people who are not poor enough to be FARMS, but still earn far less than teachers.  If you're that worried about people who are working with our children at schools and who need public assistance, it would make more sense to tip the cafeteria workers or the janitorial staff.  But no one seems to do that.  Hmmmm......

Also, please provide a citation for the bolded.  I've tried searching for teachers on public assistance, and I only found stories of part time teachers or non-teaching school staff (aides, secretaries, janitors).  Teachers in the NoVa area are well enough paid that I can't imagine how any of them would qualify for public assistance.  They certainly don't need parents who make less than they do to try to supplement their salary or provide some sort of bonus.  [/quote]
