Teacher's end of year gifts

[Linny]

I've bought our kids teachers Costa vouchers this year. However, is it the norm to write the voucher value on the gift card, or should I leave it blank?

I help out with teaching occasionally at secondary school and do Science Club at primary school. It means I get the fix of inspiring kids but without the stress, bullshit, Ofsted, the complete fuckwittery that is SATs and the politics. If I was a full-time teacher I wouldn't want or expect a gift. I think a thoughtfully written card is far more meaningful and appropriate. I did a bee talk with a glass-fronted observation hive for Year 1 kids last year. They made me a thank you card and I've treasured it.

I thought the teachers end of term gifts were 6 weeks off for the summer?

I think the general rule is just don't put kisses or your number on it.

Yes and make sure you put it on Facebook so everyone else can see what you've spent.

Should get them a load of marker pens. They must get through loads the poor buggers

My teacher daughter always gets a fair few presents at this time of the year, am sort of paraphrasing here (so apologies to the sensitive souls) but she does not give a toss, she is just glad to see the back of the little fuckers.

Do they not??

Not contracted to work during those 6 weeks, so don’t get paid for them. They get paid during the holidays, but not for the holidays.

I don’t understand the distinction.

They get paid so they’re salaried? Like most of us

They are paid during the holidays because their annual salary is divided up into 12 x monthly blocks. The 6 weeks is time they’re not contracted to work.

Think they’re paid for sumit like 39 weeks

Bought my kid's teachers fuck all.

Just like most jobs then. It’s a number divided by 12.

I’m not contracted from March to January, but I earn a fortune in February.
