I was reminded of my teaching career at the P. school by this story today. Not that it takes a whole lot to get me thinking about my fantastic students and colleagues again. That news story, on the other hand, is just really funny. No, we did not have a limit to how muuch kids could spend to show their appreciation and gratitude for their teachers. And no, I didn't think it was a problem. Of course, I loved some of the gifts I got - gifts certificates in the realm of $25 to $50, candy from Godiva and pens from Cross and the odd Tiffany. This is the first time in three years I'm not just picking up random gifts from people. So if you're out there, you're a former student (or just a reader who is just happening by), and you want to buy me something, do. :)
