Kids taking presents in for their teachers at the end of the school year.......

[joeluke]

..........flowers, chocolates etc

Never happened in my day, what a racket, just an excuse for the competitive mums to outdo each other again by buying better gifts for teacher

My sons teacher will get fcuk all from me, teachers get handsomely paid and have an excessive amount of holidaysanyway so they ain't that badly off

[chelle7272]

My feelings exactly joeluke, I never participated either. Most teachers were better off than me anyway!

[stokemaveric]

isnt an apple a day for them off the teachers pet any good these days???

[cazzz1975]

me neither, its getting to the point where teachers are suggesting gift idea's

most popular : alcohol

[NoMercy]

Nice to see you are your usual chirpy self. xx

[joeluke]

I try NM, I try

[B00]

Kinda agree yeah, they are, as you said, .paid handsomely for their job. However I've caved and bought a small box of chocs and a card for Mini Boo's teacher. Only because Mini Boo adores her and is pretty upset to be moving to another class in the new term!

[chelle7272]

What!! How does that llok buying a teacher alcohol!

[joeluke]

Boo, shame on you, you're just like the rest of the sheep

[johnk]

I think thet need paying well to mind somebody elses brats every day!

[cazzz1975]

by the time mini b00 hits year 6 you will be hardened to the emotional blackmail ;)

[NoMercy]

Yes, Joe. You are very trying. :-)

[B00]

Ya joking aren't ya Cazzz? The little bag knows exactly how to win me round, and if im unmoved by her pouting lip and fluttering eyelashes, you can bet daddy won't be!

[joeluke]

I don't have a point here then NM?

[Bbbananas]

A ridiculous unnecessary idea.

[NoMercy]

My teacher always got me a present.

[joeluke]

Teachers pet?

[McMouse]

And I don't tip the binmen at Xmas, though Mrs McM gives the postman one.

[NoMercy]

I never actually was in her class. I used to always go and help her tidy the classroom at breaktimes and she used to buy me a lovely gift at the end of term time.

That was going back 25 years ago now. Last Christmas she bought me a watch, bracelet, bottle of wine and put £40 in my Christmas card.

My headmaster at primary school was 'seeing to' my mother. I think a present was out of the question, all things considered.
