Do you give xmas presents to secondary school teachers?

[shouting]

I just wondered if this is a thing? It's my eldest's first year at secondary so I'm not sure.

I am a secondary school teacher and it is not the norm. I get a few presents usually from my form and they are greatly appreciated - I particularly enjoy the cards though and get plenty of those.

I am a secondary school teacher. Never had a christmas present from a pupil, nor would I expect one. I sometimes get a Christmas card written by a child, but I wouldn't ever expect it -maybe I get two or three a year from the 150 odd pupils I teach.
My Y11 leavers do often write me cards or give me small gifts at the end of their time at school - that is really appreciated because we have spent so much time together over the years and built a strong relationship.

No I haven't bought for any of them. It's more a primary school thing

I've never bought an Xmas present for a secondary school teacher.

Not typically - certainly not expected. I sometimes get a card or box of chocs from my tutor group but not every year.

I used to as a Head of year, and still do now as a form tutor at the lower end of school.

My DD never took in a gift for a teacher at secondary school, apart from one year when the form did a Secret Santa type thing and she drew the teacher. She did take in gifts when she left Sixth Form.

Not expected. I'm a secondary teacher and I have maybe had a Xmas present once or twice, and more often at the end of year 11 as a thank you. My DS has given a present to a form tutor who was leaving who he adored, and to teachers who took him on a trip for a week (just some biscuits for the staff room) but don't feel you should as it's not the norm...

For maths teachers yes. Everyone else no.

Not expeced. Very rare to receive anythings. Always remembered when it happens. One year i received a christmas centrepiece from one of my form. Loved it. Last year one of my year 8 challenging boys gave me a share size packet of one of my favourite crisps! Very sweet!

I don't buy them myself like I did when dd was in primary school, but dd and some of her friends club together to get something for her form tutor.

Noble that actually made me laugh

I buy my son 3 £5 costa gift cards and give them to him to give to 3 teachers.

Last year he gave one to the DT technician, his form tutor and the lady that serves him at break time in the canteen. He wrote on it: Dear Miss, now it's your turn to be served. Merry Christmas.

No because DD would never speak to me again.

My kids are in secondary and give to their form teachers, after school activity leader (running club and drama club) and to the cleaning ladies.
A card and small box of biscuits / chocolates or bottle of wine is very much appreciated.
I personally think it's a nice touch. I have friends who think I'm an idiot and don't do do the same but each to their own.
