[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a teacher. Please don't give me anything, unless it's a letter to my principal (and if you really like me, copied to higher-ups) about what a great teacher I am (and why).  I also love homemade cards or notes or drawings from your children, if they are inclined to do so without you forcing them.  Otherwise, I'm an educational professional, not your friend, your nanny, or your relative.  I don't need a gift or a tip.  I mean, you wouldn't give one to your doctor.[/quote]

I don’t need 30 coffee mugs or cute gift things you found on Pinterest and seemed to be in a contest with your Bunco group for who can make the most outrageous ridiculous thing!  It is going to go in the dumpster at the back of school.

A letter to my principal and school board is far more appreciated. I love your kids but admin is another story sometimes.

No gifts cards either. If you must,  give cash. [b]Every. Single. Gift card last year had either already been used by folks going through the racks with scanners[/b] or were for stores that went out of business. I also don’t drink coffee.

Get me a bottle of wine or a vape pen and I would be thrilled!  I partake to be handle most parents! [/quote]

They aren't activated until you get to the register, but good try.[/quote]

Not the PP, but my teacher SIL has a drawer full of unused gift cards.  It isn't that she doesn't want to use them, but mainly she forgets she has them, it is a pain to carry them, or whenever you need it, it isn't with you [/quote]
