[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that the majority of the gift cards should go to the teachers and not be split evenly across the board to all staff members. I think it is a nice gesture to try to give something to everyone to show our appreciation, however it should be based on some kind of tiered system where classroom teachers get the most, then specials, etc. [/quote]

Why shouldn’t specials get same amount?  [/quote]

It’s simple: they don’t have to do parent teacher conferences, IEP meetings, or 504 meetings. [/quote]

Right, specials teachers just teach every child in the building, host field day (pe), produce multiple student shows each year (music). Provide coverage when others are absent AND attend IEP/504 meetings when requested. [/quote]

No one really requests a music or PE teacher at an IEP meeting, sorry.

And yes, dealing with parents via multiple emails and parent teacher conferences alone deserves a bit more appreciation. Deal with it. [/quote]

Our specialists neither attend these meetings nor provide coverage when people are absent. [/quote]

Your specialists must be lucky. I (music teacher) cover all the time and attend 504s and IEPs. [/quote]
