Ugh it’s so frustrating, I’ve seen this too and it’s like look getting school supplies and my kid to school is the height of my competency level … daughter’s teacher had an Amazon wish list for the classroom so I bought something on there with a note - appreciate the low effort gifting ability 🙃
Oh god since when? 😩
If this is really a thing now (and really??), as a former teacher, you’re actually more appreciated with a gift card than those other gifts. Teachers are normal people too, you don’t know them, or their tastes. A gift card at least meant I could spend it on something I actually wanted instead of pretending I really liked the stuff someone who had met me at back to school night bought me. Once your kid actually knows the teacher though, definitely have your kid participate in writing the card (or drawing a picture if they are too young to write). I cherished those.
Good to hear, gift cards are my jam because I just don’t have time + not creative. Great advice!
Ummmm nope. They gift holiday gift, classroom funded group teacher appreciations gift, and end of year gift. I’m too busy, and poor, at start of the year buying up the items on their three-page long school supply list!
I’ve not noticed this at our school yet but I think gift cards are always appreciated!
This is news to me!
I generally wait and see how the teacher is with my kid. Is this a new way of becoming the teachers favorite? I say that joking, but...
Ugh, don’t do it. But if you’re really going to reinforce this becoming a thing, gift card is good. No more effort than that, please.
Butkis!!
