[QUOTE="Andy, post: 433859, member: 5096"] If you don't feel thankful than a card and gift are not necessary. How many people give year end thank-yous/gifts? I would say not many so your not giving one will not even be noticed. I believe I have only given one thank you note to a teacher at the end of the year. I had always been involved in watching kids so the teachers could go out to lunch for Teacher Appreciation. I also provided a poster board for each class to decorate on that day as a thank you and the PTL would pitch in a gift (plant or something) from all parents. The note I gave was actually a letter to difficult child's 5th grade teacher. That was our year of nightmares. I truely do not think we could have come through it without her support. I thanked her for her belief in both difficult child and myself and for her patience and kindness. I also think the fact that my kids grew up in that school so she really did know that difficult child's behavior that year was not who he was or wanted to be helped A LOT. If we had someone who did not know us, that person may have been hard on us thinking that it was a behavior problem based on poor parenting. She knew better! :) [/QUOTE]
