[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, this thread makes me never want to give a teacher a gift.  Many of you are extremely ungrateful.  Nobody gives me gifts for doing my job.  Perhaps the practice should end all together.[/quote]

I agree.[/quote]

+1. And the worst part is when they get awarded for just doing their job.[/quote]

Seriously! It’s not like others get tips or bonuses or that we give gifts to others like out mail carrier, baby sitter or daycare provider.[/quote]

Begrudging teachers Christmas gifts is petty af.  When was the last time you were in a classroom?  And really, people are being honest here on DCUM, not in "real life".  My mother was a principal, and retired 15 years ago.  The lotions and soaps and such are fine - until you get 10+ sets of them.  The cookies and other food, too - ONE batch of cookies, great.  When you get 12 batches...not so much.

Just give a gift card, really.  Or a handwritten note.  Or nothing.  No one goes into teaching for Christmas gifts. I know you think you have the best cookies/cakes/whatever, or you know the PERFECT gift to get because you are so awesome, but just get a gift card if you have to get something.

She accepted it all gratefully and gracefully - but I can tell you *maybe* 1/20th of what she received was used or consumed personally by her. [/quote]

Sorry. The PP was meant to be sarcastic.[/quote]
