verykiasu2010:

do the NYPS teachers still perform for the kids on teachers' day ?

CHS teachers traditionally perform for children's day celebration though


Why should trs perform on their own celebration day????

oh no, but yes, you are right! I remembered wrongly the teachers' performance is for children's day, not teachers' day .... :imsorry:

Actually some of the most meaningful gifts from my students are the inexpensive ones. I told them if they really want to give something to me, spend some time sitting down and writing a really sincere note to me. If they really, really need to go into a shop to get something for me, then just get me a red pen or a marker or marker refill will do.


I told this to my P6 class last year and they remembered. This year when they came back to visit me, most of them wrote cards with red pens attached to it. The message was so sincere and touching that I teared while reading some of them.

Those cards are now displayed at my workplace and will continue to serve as my motivation to educate the future generation for many years to come. It cost almost nothing but to me, is the greatest gift of all

Even wives look forward to those \"love language of gifts' from husbands... no?

I read someone mentioned that sometimes the people giving the presents are overly enthusiastic....resulting in such a fiasco. Teachers expectation is really showing of APPRECIATION of their efforts and passion from the heart, not the gifts. Another realistic way of showing appreciation is don't give the teachers any problems, especially when they try very hard. (case in point, the haircut incident)

[verykiasu2010]

for me, just email a note to the teacher (any time of the year), especially if DS has received a praise slip from the teacher

But in terms of 'corporate practice', I think it crosses the line of propriety. The schools should police this, in my view.

I couldn't pen a better sentence.. so I can only say.. :goodpost:

I am sure the school has learnt its lesson from this experience as well.
