Are you trying to get in their pants?

Do you/did you give gifts to teachers? I usually didnt want too unless they were really nice(or i was getting a bad mark) mostly my mom wanted me to give them stuff.
If so, what did you give? Wine bottles/chocolates stuff like that
What do you think teachers don't like to get? crappy things they wont use, everyone usually likes chocolate/ bottle of wine
What do you think they WOULD like to get? they wont ever say they dont like something so your good with anything but id stick with the normal stuff as ive said
Do you have teaching relatives (or are you a teacher yourself) and can provide some insight? My mom is and even if the gift is crap she still likes that the kid took time to get her something.

"an apple with a worm on it"

BOOOOOOOO
HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

That's the exact thing I was ranting about on my blog!

Interesting, this confirms that most people think 'wine and chocolate and pens and apples'.
the wine and chocolate thing... hate to break it to you but it's not something that teachers *love*.
Lots of teachers don't drink (strange but true! So I guess be careful who you pick to give wine to) and many teachers get something like 15 boxes of chocolate a year and then don't know what to do with them. It's still appreciated in terms of sentiment though, you just have to accept that it's likely that they won't eat it/drink it all themselves.

Special: ... I'm not saying this to be rude or anything, but if she's just had a baby- she'll probably want to lose weight! Do you have those awesome cheap massage places all over the place like we do here? We've got them in shopping centres all over the city. They have neck massages for AU$5, neck and shoulder $10, and neck shoulder and back $20. They're totally awesome gifts for teachers, and I'd imagine brilliant for a pregnant or brand new mother. I'm sure she'd appreciate chocolates anyway, but I'm just throwing another idea out there.


"It's their job after all." ... Discuss.

Teachers are such a large part of your life, they're teaching you what, 6 or more hours a day, five days a week, for a year. It's not just a 'job'.

Not for Christmas or anything... well, here Christmas and End of School Year are the same thing. So it might make more sense.

Teachers are just glorified baby sitters!!! Hey, thats going to be you one day

Those cheap massage places look kinda dodgy, they always try to pull me in.. Or those people that are like "HI DO YOU WANT LIFE INSURANCE? IF YOU ARE OVER 25 THEN COME HERE"... and i always say "i'm only 18.." then they say "oh i thought you were older".

damnit!

You must have another sort of massage place than we do! Ours look nice. Or maybe we just have different opinions...

glorified babysitters? Okay, from now on all five year olds can teach themselves!

(also babysitters get paid more per child)
