[quote=Anonymous]It's been said, OP, if you don't want to contribute then don't.

Snacks and treats are not necessary, but little tokens of appreciation are always welcomed and put a smile on teachers' faces.

Sure there are some who avoid sugar and gluten but [b]the MAJORITY of teachers are gobbling down the treats[/b]. There's usually so much left over because the PTA brings in TONS of stuff. And a lot of it goes home with teachers. At the end of the day, an email will go out saying there's lots of snacks left over to take home. TRUST ME, teachers DO.

Teachers are paid professionals indeed, but they're also tasked with the well-being of my children-both physically and academically. I want those people to be as happy as possible. ALWAYS. That's been my feeling of ANYONE who had my child in their care. I did everything I could to ensure my co-parenting relationship was amicable, and that the new spouse (who'd have my child in her care) was happy too. No I didn't buy them snacks but I was always kind and sent thoughtful cards for the holidays, a few thoughtful tokens here and there.  My ex was the same way. He made sure my life was as stress-free as possible because I'd be taking care of 'his' kids. I'm always kind to my DIL, taking gifts, sending flowers etc because she has my grandchild in her custody and I want the person taking care of that little one happy as well.

I can't understand begrudging educators small tokens of kindness several times a year when our children spend so much time in their care.[/quote]
