Teachers are calling this common holiday gift 'the last thing we need.'
“First of all, teachers always appreciate gifts, whether it’s art from a student or a handwritten card,” Natalie Parmenter tells “When I moved in with my husband, he asked me to do a purge of my mugs because they filled up two cabinets in our kitchen,” Parmenter says. “The last thing we need is one more comically oversized mug that can’t go in the dishwasher.
“I had the sweetest child in third grade almost 20 years ago. She knew I liked the Steelers football team and painted a piece of wood black and yellow and made it into a ruler. I still have it.” “Gift cards to places where I can’t use it on classroom supplies lol .”“I LOVE getting pictures, drawings and cards from my students and families. I have EVERY single one that I’ve received in my early childhood education years .”
