Question:

Should I allow my kid to bring her teacher a bottle of wine for the first day of school?

by | earlier

I saw her teacher after open house at the store and I saw she had a couple of bottles in her cart. I think it would be a nice way to say hey, thanks for being a teacher and let's start the new year off right.

Most schools have rules about alcohol on campus. It most places it is illegal. And on the first day of school, you need not thank the teacher. It is appropriate at later times in the year.

How about a gift certificate to a nice restaurant and she can get her own bottle

That is HIGHLY inappropriate, not to mention illegal for a child to be in possession of alcohol. Instead, why not have your child help you bake some cookies or do a good ol' fashioned red apple as a "thank you"?

In short....No, don't give the teacher a bottle of wine as a "thanks".

Absolutely NOT! What are you thinking??? I dont think you should send any kind of gifts on the first day of school...The best thing you can send it a well behaved prepared student!

Wine is an OK gift. But if you really want to start the year off right, have your little darling show up with a bottle of scotch.

No please do NOT send the teacher wine. You don't need to send gifts at the beginning of the year. It seems like you're trying to get in good with the teacher, besides wine is not an appropriate gift for a teacher. If you'd like to give a gift wait until Christmas or the end of the year and then give a gift cardd. You could always get the gift card to the store you saw the teacher at, as long as it's NOT aliquorr store.

No! They are not allow glass bottles at school.

A nice box of wine would be much better!

No way, legal questions would certainly arise from involving a minor with possession of alcohol, plus you could very well embarrass the teacher by revealing private life and exposing her to judgment of those whom have even less knowledge of discretion than you wish to express. Send the kid with a Dr. Suess or Sesame street video or book and let the teacher know you value her efforts with the entire class and her profession.

Considering it is illegal to take alcohol to school, I would say no. They can suspend your child and you can get in trouble for allowing your minor to have alcohol in their possession

no not at all

That would be a BIG FAT NO!! First of all that would break the rule of "minor in possesion", secondly it si against the law to have alcohol on school grounds, and thridly, that is something that one adult would give another, not a child to an adult. If YOU want to give her a bottle of wine, then YOU do so.
