RH33 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 My kids school send a gentle please don’t feel need give gift, donate to charity instead. Which doesn’t sit right with me! I’ve been unwell recently and the staff have been great support. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been unwell recently and the staff have been great support. Write a nice message in a card. As a teacher there's nothing better than getting a genuine thank you message that someone has taken time to write. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Wait, do people give presents to their kids teachers? Is this a normal thing that happens? I have never, ever heard of this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a teacher there's nothing better than getting a genuine thank you message that someone has taken time to write. The issue, supposedly, is that they don't want stuff from home being passed to the teachers due to the covid transmission risk. If presents are banned, cards are too. 6 minutes ago, oneteaminglasgow said: Wait, do people give presents to their kids teachers? Is this a normal thing that happens?

The school have expressly banned it. In fact I think our school maybe even banned this last year pre covid. But no.... It doesnt "sit right" with her so the presents are ready to go. Had to explain repeatedly that the weans P1 teacher doesnt know us, and is therefore unlikely to make exceptions and break rules for us. Nor should she be put in the position of making that call. A rare win for common sense, but theres still a few school days to go so we will see...... 31 minutes ago, RH33 said: I handed mine in on Monday so that the teachers could quarantine them before taking home.

mizfit Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Yes. Was commonplace when I was at school, and still is now.It was cards when I was at school. Only exception I can think of was when I broke my leg and my mum gave my P5 teacher a box of chocolates as a thank you for dropping off schoolwork to me everyday. Still pissed off at that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Every year i get a reasonable wee collection of chocolates /booze - but it's usually in the summer when the kids leave. It's the primary teachers that really rake it in. Down south they get some ridiculously expensive gifts Getting an email can go and do one, though. The covid risk of transferring on paper is ridiculously small. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
