Christmas Presents for Teachers: Ideas?

[redrhodie]

How about a donation to a good cause? I'd probably want that if I were a teacher.


ETA: Oops, I missed this was already suggested.

We never gave holiday gifts to teachers when I was growing up (60s-70s), and I didn't do it as a parent (90s-00s, except for funny stuff or needed stuff which we brought in at any time of the year.

I noticed this year that some of the staff I work with really expect gifts and know which parents did and didn't gift.

We also have a ton of staff to staff gifting which I think is excessive, and we had a staff collection of cash for two of our families (who somehow missed the application for another charity) which I think is inappropriate as a 'dual relationship' which we as health care providers must avoid. (We're not a real school, we're a Mental Health Day Treatment Facility.)
