to think 140 quid on

[nannyplum75]

an end of term thank you present for our Year One teacher is excessive? The money is collected from the whole class. I am the only person to have expressed disagreement with this and think I may be the only one! AIBU?

This :
As a teacher I'd be uncomfortable with as much as that, a thank you card is plenty

When my dc were in Primary, I'd send a box of biscuits or tin of chocs in for the whole staff towards the end of term. There were far more people than just the class teacher who made the whole experience as good as it was for them - the secretary, the HT, the TAs, the breakfast club staff, the PPA cover, the staff that ran clubs and sports teams, etc.,etc.etc,

Giving teachers gifts is the same as tipping - unneccessary.
