1) my wife works as an EA .. working in a school is a terrible job and as parents we should be grateful the teachers get the summer off to recharge.
2) its no wonder teachers are wine drinking alcoholics. i walk into a school and i am ready for a drink, i couldnt imagine it being my lifes work.
3) I think its stupid to buy a gift for the teacher. ugh, its not creativem unique or unusual and reaks of wanting to keep up with the jonses. oooh, little suzy's mom brought Mrs AppleTits a giftcard, i better make sure my kid gives her a gift too or she may think less of me ...
but my wife buys Starbucks giftcards and has the kids write them a thank you note, whatever. i dont even give my wife a card for her birthday so maybe i am out of touch but it just reeks of conformity to me.
