The holiday season is upon us, and, it’s time to think about how to handle giving gifts to your child’s teacher.

We talked about 5 Great Teacher Gifts last year, and, I’m glad you enjoyed those selections.

I have an interesting dilemma this year, though.

I had decided that this year we were going to just contribute to the classroom gift since, between my 3 children, there are 9 different teachers.

But, the school informed us yesterday that there won’t be classroom gifts, but, that we can give to a “general” fund, and, the money will be distributed equally among all the teachers in the school.

I’m a little conflicted about that, the way I see it, the flat sum is a “bonus” from the school, and, not an indication of parent goodwill and appreciation for their child’s teacher.

I could be wrong, since, money is money, but, I’ve just not come across this before.

What do you think?
