Just wondering what your general thoughts are on this. This year my Grandson's school have set up a Charity post box so kids can post a money envelope instead of buying gifts for teachers if they wish to do so. Think this is a great idea. They have chose Children in Need

My cubs have been doing this every year - usually just a small thing that they’ve made and a packet of sweets/chocolates

That's what I thought, it becomes a challenge to some folk to buy the best present and then they might have a few teachers and assistants, at least this way no child will feel left out as no one can see how much you have put in the envelope

My Girlfriend is a teacher at a Prep School. Come Christmas the parents try and outdo each other. Whilst I’m not complaining about great fizz and Jo Malone candles I do wonder how the scholarship pupils parents feel about it.

Sounds like a brilliant idea.

It really is a great idea. I always think the presents that teachers get are appreciated in thought ..... but disposed of swiftly in reality.

They don't need another mug do they ? Best that someone who needs your money gets it.

Hiding in the shadows

I always made my kids teachers presents until they left primary school.

Something personaly itemised.

I just send in wine now they're at seniors.

I reckon the teachers deserve a few drinks after putting up with mine all year.

I don’t have children, but as a child myself I always bought my favourite teacher at school a present at Christmas! I loved her that much.

She recognised me years later in a supermarket and gave me a hug. The nicest teacher going!

I think it can make a difference, you never know what people are going through, and a little present to show your appreciation for their work can make them feel good.

the right frame of mind -London

I'm sure there are a shed load of teachers that mentally groan at all the teacher kitch they are heaped with each year -so giving to a charity is probably the better option imo

Its actually funny seeing all these 10 yr old kids clinking their way to school laden down with bottles of Baileys & Whiskey
