Easter presents for teachers yes or no

[schmoopoo]

???

no

no

No

(I'm a teacher. Or was)

yes - my mums one and passes all easter/kinder/ mini eggs onto her children (ie: me!)

And...............

No.

Think you got your answer

No. (Unless I teach your child in which case a Thorntons one would be nice.)

Ds insists on a card and chocolate for his lovely reception class teacher and I reminded him about the T.A. too.

Fortunately there are some very small cheap chocolate "tokens" available these days and most of all I'm happy for him to make/send a card as it's all good voluntary writing practice when he normally does the absolute minimum as far as his writing is concerned.

I think DS1's teachers desereve a pampering day, including full body massage, the amount of grief he's given them this term .

Sadly my budget doesn't stretch to that, so I might sheepishly send in a small bunch of flowers.

No

Hmm - I came on to start the same thread, because I am currently so out of control I can't even remember if I did it last year, let alone whether it was the norm...

However, after the rave reviews DS and I got for Christmas cakes for teachers /TAs /DD's nursery carers, I am thinking home-made Easter biscuits... annoyingly, I know I had some easter gift bags which would be ideal, but I can't find them anywhere

oh no please don't do it
please do not set a precedent for easter gifts

No! enough is enough. Blimey - got too much time on your hands ?

No way, the Christmas spending got stupid this year (ds1's teacher got a Next voucher from the class for £300 - I just ignored the begging letters from fellow aprents and sent the usual wine though). It's a fiath school so we sned cards as Easter is the big festival and all that, but that's it.

HMC - far from it. I seem to manage to be cash-poor and time-poor, but have visions of DS being the only one empty-handed on Thursday morning (paranoid - me?)

Ah, then hopefully the responses to this thread have set your mind at rest on that score

no, we never get anything for the teacher at any time.

Teaching my DS is joy enough I think

You would think, and the OP seems to be reassured, but being truly paranoid I am thinking "but MNer's DCs are in normal, sane schools" and still contemplating where I can find the time to make biscuits
