How sad a teacher would even think a child’s gift is silly. My oh my, I am almost lost for words. Please parents do not think for one minute
99.9% of us teachers feel that way. I have been teaching for 33 years and have yet to receive a “silly little gift”. Shame on you whoever you are. Maybe it times for you to take your silly — to the house and retire.

WOW Amy! Maybe it’s time you find another profession. Children love to give “silly little gifts” to their teachers. It makes them (the child)feel special. I guess your children aren’t allowed to give their teachers gifts.

I am a teacher and a parent of young children. I love receiving any type of gift from students because thyey are so proud to give it. I appreciate the thought and would NEVER consider it just a “silly little gift.” As for being a parent, my children love to receive little treats from teachers or friends at school and I do not see any harm in a little candy once and a while. I actually find it very sad that someone would be annoyed by someone taking the time to think of them. I feel bad for students that have a teacher like that.

I am a teacher and would love this, it’s very sweet and kind for someone to think of you. These look like fun! A suggestion to Amy, give the treats to the other teachers if you don’t want them, that’s a rational solution.

WOW, What a comment Amy, I thought it was supposed to be the thought that counts. Doing small things for a teacher is just showing a little appreciation. Look at it as a blessing. I know that my child doesn’t eat a lot of candy, but a little gift makes his day….being the thought that counts….God Bless…..

They are cute!….I will continue to give my child’s teachers anything I like until they tell me otherwise. Sometimes a little something is worth the encouragement. It’s not like they’re (the children) given treats everyday. Get over it…glad I didn’t have you as a teacher! As a parent…I see my child’s eyes light up when he gets something special at school.

Amy, I understand that you don’t want or appreciate those silly gifts. However, my children come up with their own
“silly little gift” ideas for their teachers- because they WANT to. I believe that it’s the thought that counts. I sincerely hope that my children’s teachers appreciate the thought and love that go into those “silly little gifts”.

Stephanie, I think you are so sweet to go to the trouble of not only giving a first day of school gift, but also using your time and creativity to give something clever. If only there were more thoughtful people like you.
