[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Showing appreciation is great, but it just means more when it is unsolicited. I feel that the "forced" nature of teacher appreciation week is similar to the child's birthday party invitations instructing us to bring a donation to charity in lieu of a gift. The idea is perhaps well-intentioned but it always leaves me feeling coerced and slightly resentful. I like to make my own decisions about how to show that I care. But maybe it's just me...?[/quote] I am sorry but a group organized gift is not being forced on you. You have every right to not participate and do what works for you. I don't get the "forced" description being used here for teacher appreciation week. If you feel forced it is your own guilt. As a room mom, I don't take tally of who gives and who doesn't and if you are a room mom or PTA and do then shame on you.[/quote]
