Episode #51 | Teacher gifts

Are you a parent who religiously gives gifts to your child(ren)’s teachers each year? In this podcast, a group of parents join me to discuss how they handle Christmas, Teacher Appreciation Day, and end of the school year gift giving.  I won’t lie. This year, I felt that the only appropriate gift for these poor teachers was WINE!

I asked my guest parents:

• How many of your child’s specialists (speech, OT, PT) do you give gifts?
• How much do you generally gift to each teacher/specialist per year?
• Do you gift the same amount to each person?
• Do you gift for each specific event (Christmas, Teacher Appreciation Day, End of School)?

The best part of this episode is that two of our guest parents are also teachers so were willing to answer all of my other burning questions:

• Am I a bad parent for gifting BOOZE?
• Are teachers afraid to eat homemade cookies and treats from their students?
• Do teachers compare gifts with other teachers who are also part of the special education team?
• Do teachers roll their eyes or cringe when they receive certain types of gifts?
• Do teachers swap gifts received with each other in the teacher lounge on the last day of school?
