Do you get calss teacher something for easter ?

[LilyLoo]

DS in reception and just wondered if this is the norm or 'sucking' up ?

I wouldn't bother - but then I hate dd's teachers!

I wouldn't.

sorry meant to say 'class'

dc's took flowers in today for theirs.

No. Having to buy Christmas presents and something at the end of the school year for each of them is quite enough.

I don't buy Easter presents for anyone else either, mind.

not meaning to cause offence to anyone, so dont take it that way but, i am absolutely dreading my kids starting school as it seems the norm to buy teachers presents! WTF???!!?

I agree, LOTF. But I think they (the teachers I mean) really appreciate stuff that the children have made themselves - it doesn't have to be all expensive.

I know LDF although we did get nursery teachers something at christmas. I not really sure what to do myself. I agree with Dinosaur in a way but don't want to seem tight or be caught out when everyone else arrives with something either.DS would feel quite upset about it i think if that happened.

Thats a nice idea Dinosaur maybe he could make her something.

Think the majority don't in our school. Mine are giving a pot of daffodils - if I was really organised they would plant and grown them themselves, but as I never am I just buy one and wrap in greeen tissue paper. Maybe next year!

We normally pick daffs from the garden to give the teachers, looks like I'll have to buy them this year tho - they've been & gone already!

Ah LOfTF - why? Its nice to show the teachers you appreciate them isn't it! You don't need to spend much. Infact, I make sure I don't spend more that £3. Agree about homemade stuff. dd has made choc truffles for them at xmas for the last couple of years. Also, I am a cm and whilst I don't expect anything from my parents, I always do and it makes my job all the more worthwhile. Also buy for Guiders too (I'm one of them too)

Christmas & end of summer term is sufficent I think.

DS will be making easter cakes to take in on his last day (tomorrow) enough each for the children and teachers.

I am making dd1s teacher a plate of suzywong brownies for validating some passports for us

but otherwise no, I wouldnt bother

I'm going to get ds1 to make some truffles and a little basket or something, same for playgroup (to share!!!).

I usually do, but this year I can't be arsed. Haven't bought my kids eggs yet!

Might just let him make a card then this evening and pick some dafs thats a nice thought.

Not at Easter, though I know lots who do.

I haven't. I think a couple of DD's classmates might have though. Didn't realise I was supposed to! As an ex teacher, I have never received an Easte rpresent before.

Might get DD to make a card tonight to take in!

kiss arse

Exactly Custy you damned either way

We did a small box choc eggs from Tesco fancy ones . havnt done it befor but his teacher is fab with a capitol F
