I've been getting really nice notes along with the gift cards or in Christmas cards that came along with gifts. Didn't know notes and gift cards were mutually exclusive. The bottom line is that teachers will accept and appreciate anything they're given.

But I'll step aside and let the 'note crowd' you're addressing answer this.[/quote]

I guess I’m in the “note crowd”.

I’m never disappointed when I get just notes. And the notes have spanned SE classes and a wide caliber of students. I get some notes that just say “Thanks for teaching me ” or “I like your class.” And others that fill three sides of the card with details. Some are funny. Others make me cry. I have a special fondness for the ones that come from kids I had a rocky start with. These remind me to keep trying even if a student seems like they hate me for no reason. [/quote]
