[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If teachers don’t care about the food or gift cards, why can’t the week simply be cancelled? [/quote] I think they appreciate the gifts, but they don’t care if someone doesn’t send something. They won’t hold it against you and your child if you don’t donate to the PTA or send in something directly. [/quote] I think this is true (hope this is true) but my sister who has taught elementary school in the DMV for the last ten years has said that the teachers absolutely know and keep track of those families that give generous individual gifts. Like “no gift” won’t make a negative difference but “big gift” can make a positive one. [/quote] I don't believe you have a "sister" who has taught at all. I've been in the field for forever and NO teacher I've ever known has ever kept track of families that give generously. I do remember my first year teaching when one family bought me a matching set of bra and panties. Not kidding. I do remember the kid who wrote me the note saying she wished I was her mom. Give if you want, don't give if you don't. It's okay either way. [/quote]
