This has been a common practice, at least since my kid was in pre-school few years back. I have seen other parents giving gifts to teachers during the christmas party in the classroom. Lately, classroom moms started collecting funds electronically and hand over gift cards to teachers at the party. This is totally optional.

But I always wondered how much do they give, never had guts to ask them. But this is an anonymous forum where you can ask such embarrassing question and don't get judged.
just asked my better half and she said she's received between $10-25.00 cards. Not sure why I didn't ask her earlier in this thread, sorry!

I'm sure your childs teacher will appreciate anything

Mine are 26 and 28. Where does one stop with tips? I don't really care one way or the other but this seems a little odd to me that this seems to keep expanding on who gets a tip.
