Teacher's Day is approaching, and a piece of news recently triggered heated discussions.
According to the Internet, the head teacher of a middle school in Fuzhou, Fujian asked the students to vote in the group whether they agreed to use the class fee to prepare a gift for each of the 12 teachers in each subject, and claimed that they did not prepare a Teacher’s Day gift and asked to change classes.
The head teacher has been suspended.
Do you want to give gifts on Teacher's Day?
If you send it, what do you send?
How to send it?
How much to give?
This is the most painful problem for parents on Teacher’s Day on September 10th.
In fact, the teachers are full of grievances to complain: it feels like roasting on a fire.

Parents: Both those who advocate giving gifts and those who don't
Recently, the parent, Ms. Wu, revealed to reporters their family’s gift-giving practice: each foreign language teacher gave a 1,000 yuan supermarket shopping card, twice a year.
The March 8th Festival in the last semester and Teacher's Day in the next semester are the beginning of the semester.
This year, I changed a head teacher in the class, and I am not familiar with him yet, so I am going to invite him to a meal and give him Kasai by the way.
In reality, many parents are opposed to gift giving.
The parent, Ms. Bi, said: “It’s never been given, it’s all about the child. It’s up to her.” The parent, Ms. Liang, said, “Basically not, but once, every year, not at all.”
Many netizens also expressed disgust with gift giving.
The netizen "Piao Ran" said: "Don't send it. The bad winds are all sent by these parents. You have to have confidence in your children." The netizen "Xiaoshan Boge" said: "Everyone sends it, doesn't mean that everyone didn't give one. It makes sense.” Some netizens said: “It’s illegal for parents to give gifts to teachers, and it’s illegal for teachers to accept gifts. The Education Bureau has found out that the teacher’s card will be revoked. Parents giving gifts are harming teachers. You don’t have to give it away, and the teacher must do his best."
The reporter learned that most of the parents in Nanjing currently agree with the family committee to give gifts together, saving time, effort and worry, and avoiding mutual comparison.
"Our class family committee has been discussing for several days, and finally decided to send each teacher a bouquet of flowers, a pen and a box of chocolates, which will be paid by the class fee. Parents recognize this method very well. The gifts are not expensive. The emphasis is on expressing your heart." Parent Ms. Liu told reporters.
Teacher: It’s almost "brake us on the fire"
"All kinds of essays and speech contests on Teacher's Day, and various lectures! Every Teacher's Day, the Internet will have a wave of'giving or not giving gifts' discussion, which simply puts teachers on fire! Parents have headaches and teachers are upset! Being a teacher doesn't provoke anyone, why should everyone step on it?" said a netizen who is engaged in the teaching profession, "Family has children."
"Send or not, parents make their own decisions, don't force the teacher's feelings. The teacher won't care whether you send it or not. You can express yourself if you want to, and don't force yourself if you don't want it." Netizen "Cat Claw" Say.
A middle school teacher said that some parents of students give flowers and gifts when the teacher is the teacher in charge of their children; if you don’t teach, you won’t see you on the road.
Being a teacher is very chilling.
Gifts from parents, more teachers hope to carry a mutual friendship and trust, rather than the rules of the game with money or parents who say nothing but have heavy expectations in their hearts.
And the parents worry about "everyone is sending it, if I don't send it, will the teacher treat my children differently", this kind of thing will not happen with great probability.
For front-line teachers, what is most needed is the parents' attention and concern for their children, the ability of parents to give their children a good education together with their teachers, and their sincere respect for the great cause of education and the profession of teachers.
Many primary and secondary schools propose:
During the Green Festival, no gifts to enter the campus
The reporter learned that many primary and secondary schools in Nanjing have successively released the "Green Teacher's Day" initiative, and some schools have even made it clear that "no gifts such as flowers are allowed to enter the campus" to jointly create a clean and honest education atmosphere.
Nanjing Youfu West Street Primary School initiative: Hope that parents will be supporters and participants of pure home-school relationship, optimizing the atmosphere of education, and clear education ecology from the height of caring for their children's healthy growth and long-term development.
The best respect for teachers is to concentrate on educating people, and the best gift to teachers is understanding, support and trust.
Gifts, gifts, etc. will only cloud the teacher-student relationship and family-school relationship; a greeting and a gratitude are the best holiday expressions for teachers.
Let us work together to leave good memories of growth and gratitude for our children.
Tao Xingzhi Primary School issued an initiative on the official Weibo: Here, all teachers of Tao Xingzhi School solemnly promise: We decline all gifts.
At the same time, we also propose to everyone: to have a healthy, simple and frugal Green Teacher's Day.
On the day of September 10th, you can share a bright smile, a warm hug, a sincere greeting, a beautiful song, a card made with heart... Because love is on this special day best gift!
The proposal of Chibi Road Primary School is full of poetry: Teacher's Day we are looking forward to is seeing smiles that are more beautiful than flowers, hearing a blessing that is sweeter than honey, and receiving a neat and beautiful homework. , Discovering a series of whimsical paintings, and enjoying a paragraph of beautiful songs... Maybe not too much, just picking one or two, we can feel the growth and gratitude of the children, and feel that they come from one by one. The family's recognition, respect, love, support and understanding of the teacher-for the teacher, this is the best holiday gift!
