Today DS has come home with an envelope with a note stapled onto it asking us to contribute a pound to celebrate teachers' birthdays.
Presumably you need to do this for each child in the school (only DS is there so far).
I find it a bit odd - when I was a teacher I would have been surprised to get a birthday present from the class, and done in this way we are being "asked" but it isn't what I would have chosen to do. I am very happy with the school and DS's teacher but don't like the feeling of being made to feel I should be doing this.
I do realise I don't have to do it, but was interested in other people's views, and whether it happens in other schools.
