to give teachers a 'snack pack' for trips?

[WhatGoesHere]

so - my son is due to go on a school residential for 3 nights.
Do you think it would be weird to send him with a box/bag of treats for the teachers - to help them "get through" the ordeal long days? I'm just thinking some biscuits, hot chocolate sachets, box of celebrations - that kind of thing.

I think it might be better than a thank you of the same thing after the event? I will ask DS to write a thank you card too - as teachers are giving up time and i gather it's actually really hard work taking kids away on these things?

do you think the admin staff should get a few treats too for their office? As they presumably did lots of prep work too??

All admin does is pay the invoices. I know many parents imagine admin team does a lot more, but they do no, they literally only go online to pay for stuff. Halls for meeting may (or may not be) set up by site stuff. All the other work is done by teachers.

@doglover92 honestly I read no harm or malice in what you said. Schools are different as any workplace is.

Personally I think that, assuming you and @Tulipsareredvioletsarebue are teachers, it’s not fair that you are expected to do all the organisation on top of all your “proper” teacher duties - teachers work incredibly hard in my experience.

I’ve never even shown our teachers how to access our payment system so they definitely need me to tell them who has or hasn’t paid etc. and I KNOW I can type a letter and create a mail merge quicker than them! They know that I couldn’t teach the children about fronted adverbials or simultaneous equations (do they do those in KS2?).

BUT so long as the trip goes well and the children get something out of it then it doesn’t matter who does what I guess.
