Have been meaning to post this for ages.
I had no idea this was the 'done thing' and DD therefore turned up with a home-made card (one she'd done off her own back) on the last day, to find the classroom swimming in presents. At home-time, all the kids traipsed out with (obv prepreared) 'thankyou' notes from the teachers.
When did this happen? I mean ok, so am old, (in fact my first class had a real coal fire). But I don't ever recall presents for the teacher.
And most of all why??
