I have a bad mum confession. I'm really bad at the stain removal thing, so when my kids go to my nans for holidays I send down the stained cloths and they come back good as new. Poor nan....
 
I dont get this trend of buying teachers gifts at end of year. I'd have thought my breeding students for them and tax I pay is gift enough.
 
I don't think it's a new thing Cowie, my child is now 21 and it was happening back when she was in Primary school.

I think it is a nice gesture if they are an awesome teacher but if they were not they got zilch from me.

I'd like to suggest a new trend, patients/relative should buy fabulous gifts for nurses on discharge.

It is the sole reason the reject shop exists. And its a good place to regift any shitty wine you were given last Christmas.

I'd like to think so, but ultimately it'll be up to me to get a name for myself....lucky I got some charm;)
I just hate prac exams because I get freaked out and feel sick, imagine going for your licence like 5 or 6 times a year, that's what I've had for 3 years!

LOL yes they should. But I think you should do your best at your job regardless, I know I do.

Ha yeah but it's a bit competitive, the lowest mark in my class would be like a high 5 (credit, higher than average) so nobody just passes and if they do they're disappointed.
It's hard to keep up at that level.

I have no idea what my GPA will be, hopefully alright but I'll see what I can use with this degree first.

Do any of the teachers at the school give your children gifts Cowie? I know some of my friends who are teachers, make up little lollie\treat bags for their students every Christmas :)

We always buy a couple of dozen cupcakes\boxes of chocs for the staff to share, especially when our elderly relatives are being discarged after a few weeks in hospital.

Congrats Sorceress, I have never done a Prac exam in my life but sat in on a couple at work last year for the Medical Students doing their Psych Prac exam, far out it was nerve wracking for me I can't imagine what it would have been like for them.
