Staples Teacher Appreciation Day?

Question

I am a new teacher and have been told about Staples Teacher Appreciation Day. I was wondering, do I have to show some sort of school ID to participate in this because I don't have one yet. If you have any details about this, please let me know.

Answer 1

Yes - do you have a union card yet?  Are you a member of your county association?  What about National Education Association (NEA)?  A school ID card?  Your insurance card.

Answer 2

The secret that we veteran teachers have learned - they are trying to get you in there to buy stuff.

So - You wont have to show anything - they might ask you where you work to keep up appearances.

Answer 3

They will probably take your word for it.  If you have some kind of letter or something showing you are a teacher, that might work if someone is doubtful.

Answer 4

I was a new teacher last year and I didn't have to show one.  I brought some letters that the school had sent me as some proof, but they did not ask for it.
