        Yes, this has given me ideas! For all the money we spend on music, art and dance, there are certainly many ways we can express ourselves and give the children an opportunity to perform! Instead of getting parents to spend on buying goods, how about getting the kids to do a simple dance, play a duet, write and recite a poem, sing a song, draw a card or poster, or put together a simple sketch? I am sure all these will go a longer way to express love for our teachers and principals!

        You don't say!!!

                As far as I know it does not violate any guidelines or regulations, however, the nature of such gifting sometimes can cloud a person's mind inevitably. Just like teachers' behaviour in the public. Teachers are not supposed to be caught in public kissing with the boyfriend or spouse as they are supposed to set exemplary conduct but did they violate any rules or law? No.....but simply the cause and effect of an action, just like the gifting of expensive gifts. Also, people must be creative in showing appreciation, expensive gifts is not the only way. In fact, if the cost of making a musical performance is the same as these gifts, I do not think people even think of the musical's expensive production cost(of course not talking about inviting those broadway musicals which may invite the same issues being discussed) because it is a performance to show appreciation, watch and end of story.


                What musical?

                Just drawing an example only....[/quote]do the NYPS teachers still perform for the kids on teachers' day ?

                  btw, I am not a teacher, I have utmost respect for them... don't want my wild-child style to implicate them ... :salute:

                    During one of our ladies luncheon, one GF mummy openly ridiculed her DS’s teacher "Crossed eyes, always look at one boy but scolding the one next to him…" her poor DS having hard time adjusting to his squint-eyed teacher… this, coming from an affluent, dist 9 residence…


                    What has the world become?
