Teacher here. I wouldn’t even give that pie to the homeless. No thanks! I know too much of what goes in your household to want to eat a pie that you made in that home.

I brought home a delicious pecan pie today and I was a happy camper.

I picked up my homemade apple pie today and my husband and I had huge slices this evening.
Thank you, parents!

Raffles as fundraisers or door prizes are fine. Raffles as a thank you for service only thank a lucky few of all who served.

My school also does a raffle. Over 300 staff members and a dozen or so get a pie. Dumb.

I was given a pie today. Thanks!

I shouldn’t have been shocked that this is my school. Once it was clear there were not enough for one or a 1/2 for each teacher, the raffle was a bad idea. “We appreciate all of you, but only a few of you will receive a token of appreciation.” is not thoughtful.

I thought of this thread as I was driving away from school after dropping off homemade pies. While I was there, a few staff came in to select a pie. I was also told that many teachers had come to collect their pies before the first bell. The table was full of nicely packaged and labeled pies. The mood was festive and appreciative. And my kids learned how to bake pies and also earned some SSL hours. Pies for teachers/staff/bus drivers is a great idea IMO.

i bet you eat at restaurants, though.

i can assure you there are things that go on in restaurant kitchens that are far worse than anything you can imagine from a home kitchen.

This, this, this. LOL

Restaurants can be way worse.

I dropped some off today! Hope you get a pie tomorrow.

if you don't want a home baked pie, then DON'T TAKE ONE!

That’s crazy.

Thoughtless, wasteful, crazy.

Homemade is better than store bought. Only a fancy bakery tops homemade.

If you are too paranoid to eat homemade baked goods you need therapy. Truly.

Well I’m a teacher and I will attest that most homemade goodies are not eaten. I know. It stinks! But we don’t need therapy, we just don’t want to become ill. There is no possible way to know everyone’s dietary needs and bringing in unknown foods will result in them being discarded as a safety precaution.

How are you so fragile as an adult that you can’t risk eating a pumpkin pie baked by Larla’s mom as a holiday gift for you?

As a matter of principle, I only accept and eat pies baked by Larla's mom if Larla already has an A in the class.

Gross.

Homemade pie > gift card >> Giant pie.

No. Gift card> store/bakery pie > homemade pie to garbage can after thanking the giver profusely and saying how tasty it looked

Sounds like you enjoy eating 50+ ingredient artificial pies vs the real thing.
