Holy crap! I feel cheap now cause last xmas we've given my daughter's 2 teachers a $25 gift card for each! But $400?? Must be nice to have that kind of money...

Wow- that is really over the top.

Its MUD. She's been posting on SAHM about all kinds of over the top things...bringing her 2yo breakfast in bed every morning so she can watch tv, putting up a 7 foot tree in DD's bedroom, buying her DD a present everyday for the 23 days before Christmas plus Christmas presents, yada yada yada.

i just replied and agreed with what you said. I taught K for 5 years and would have been VERY uncomfortable accepting that much money from any parent... if it was a parent I loved - kid I loved - it would make me feel like it looked like they were bribing me in some way... if it was a parent I wasn't crazy about with a kid that drove me nuts- i'd feel strange guilt.... I agree, a $50 gift is super generous but an amount that wouldn't make a teacher feel strange. Yikes.

and to post about it... almost seems like she wants to AW that she has money to throw around.

I love how she titled the post, "need serious advice" because what to get your LO's teacher is some SERIOUS bizness! sheesh!

In the state that I teach there is a morality clause where state workers (including teachers) can not accept a gift valued at more than 50.00, to do so would be unethical. That amount of money would make me uncomfortable, and I'd have to return it anyways.
