To not give teacher a gift now?

[DocTrouble]

DS's teacher and TA. Would it be bad form to not give a gift now, just a make DS make a card and get him to bring them something back from where we go on holiday? Or should I organise some meaningless crap to hand over next week?
He will have the same teachers next school year as it's a mixed year group class.

Box of celebrations, job done

I wouldn’t give anything if he’s going back to same teacher

Mine have had the same teacher numerous times, always done a gift though. It's a thank you for their hard work and extra effort over the year.

Mine may well end up having the same teachers but with the opposite child next year! I'm still going to get them something but I've got no chuffing idea what - cos they've been bloody amazing.

It’s totally up to you. I don’t really like presents, I prefer cards anyway.

I think a card of appreciation would be perfect. How many mugs/ boxes of chocolates does one person need!?

Giving them a card will surely suffice anyway.

You might like to give a card to show you’ve appreciated this year’s efforts.

No please don't, a card means a lot and is lovely!

My two best teacher presents- an Oxfam education related donation, like this or some flowers on the first day of the next school year.

BertrandRussell given or received?

I never given an end of term present to a teacher

I don't give teachers gifts.

I have never given a teacher a present from my dc!

I never gave them as a child either nor did anyone else in my year.

No neither did we. It's all a bit OTT but I don't want DS to feel left out or the teachers to think we're miserable sods or create bad feeling especially as he has SN.

I have to join in for DD's class but that's £2 and a picture and is pre-school. Not sure what is expected in "proper" school.

Nothing is expected. We get paid for our work. Please don't worry about it.
