Last year the kids gave their teachers this “award.” I absolutely believe the principal was genuine when he said it was one of the top 3 gifts he’s gotten in his career. And I’d like to think that he’ll display that gift for many years to come. I made my kids’ music teachers (outside of school) keychains with their names on them last year. I saw one of those teachers the other day and he proudly showed me that he uses it. Made me really happy to see that.
I have 0 doubt that teachers receive a bagillion gifts over a long career. But I want my kids’ teachers to receive the gifts that they show off for the rest of their lives.
