Do children still give gifts to their teachers?

Question

Are students still showing gratitude for their teachers?

Answer 1

Yes I think they still do in the lower grades. But when the grade gets higher, gifts are less common for teachers (due to insults about 'teacher's pet' xP)

Answer 2

Yes students still give gifts to their teachers.  A lot depends on who their parents are though.  I have my son give his teachers gifts at Christmas and the end of the year.  I also worked as a full time teacher in a low income school and I did get gifts but only from a few of the students because most of them didn't have money.  It was never expected.  My husband teaches full time and he gets a ton of stuff at Christmas and the end of the year (he teaches jr. high and high school music so he has a lot of students.)  His favorite gift was a tee shirt that a couple students designed with puff paint that had meaning to him (i.e. a briefcase since he carries one daily, a saying that he uses a lot, a picture of an instrument, etc.)

Answer 3

Only at holiday time and at the end of the year.  It's usually the parents that choose the gift though.

Answer 4

Yes, my kids give gifts to their teachers and other people who assist in their care.  Like the bus driver, office ladies, daycare workers. etc.  I have holiday cards made with their picture and pass them out with a treat of some sort.

Answer 5

Our family does with our kids' teachers.  Usually for special occasions and, especially my daughter, a *just because* gift.

Answer 6

yes ma'am

Answer 7

Yes, I am a teacher and my students give me gifts on special occasions. I really appreciate it because it shows me they care. Gifts aren't necessary though, a nice card is wonderful!
