[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gift soliciting 2-3 times per year is too much. I just decided to ignore those emails and occupy my mind on something productive. I don’t give power to solicitors. You can do it, OP. Stay strong and confident.[/quote]

Yes occupying your great mind on this site while posting your very productive cheapskate unappreciative nonsense.[/quote]

My kids go to Franklin ES in McLean and I really appreciate parents who organize gift for teachers.  I get regular emails on this and I've done my part.  I normally contribute $500, some years more, because I think it is a worthy cause.  You can ignore the emails if you don't like to donate or respond.  You will not die from it.

$500?? Ok, moneybags. That’s insane.[/quote]

For me personally, between $500 and $1000 is a fair amount because I am getting paid 350K/yr while teachers are getting paid very little.  That being said, you give as much as you can afford, and between 500 and 1000 is the right amount for me.  The parents who are in charge of collecting money will not disclose how much each parent contributes.  That's the way it should be.
