Teacher's gifts....?

Question

Ok here's the deal, my daughter is in 6th grade, do the allow the students to bring gifts of is it frowned at because there are so many students? I know it's ok for elementary students to bring gifts, but what about once they are on Jr.High?

Answer 1

I agree with the person who said a personal note of appreciation is a great gift. When I get them, I tape them to the inside of a folder and when I get that, "WHY AM I HERE?" feeling, I open my folder of positive notes.
Another great gift is a favorite book to add to the class library, or even the school library with a nice dedication written in it.
other suggestions

plant for the classroom
journal notebooks
gift cards to fast food places, book stores
a lapel pin
cute post it notes (never have enough of those!)
a picture of your student

Answer 2

Gifts are always welcomed as a nice gesture. Teachers do not expect to receive gifts, however it can be a good way to show appreciation.

As a rule, keep the value to below $10, and give something that isn't personal. A posy of flowers can be lovely for a female teacher, as can a small box of chocolates. A nice pen can be a good gift for either a male of female teacher.

Try and stay away from gifts such as bath products, as they may give the wrong impression.

Answer 3

Teacher's do not expect gifts. It is allowed, however. Seriously, a nice note from the parent or child thanking the teacher (if it is sincerely meant), or a nice note to the principal telling what the teacher has meant to the child is the nicest gift I could get.

Answer 4

It is up to the parent and child. Teachers do not expect gifts. If you do give a gift,it should be a token gift, such as a xmas ornament or coffee mug etc. It should not be a personal item or something expensive.

Answer 5

it's ok to give something. probably not a good idea with a mug unless it's really unique. most teachers get a dozen every year from students and they end up giving them away.

Answer 6

it's ok for her to take gifts
