Ave (the UK)
I find the concept of Teachers’ Day a bit odd. It is not something that happens in the UK as far as I know. In the UK, acceptance of gifts by teachers is strictly prohibited, especially gifts that have been purchased or giving cash as a gift.
Obviously, if a child bestows a gift that he has made by himself to the teacher then that can be considered an act of endearment. To refuse in this case would probably do more harm to the child.
Ted (the UK)
In my school in England teachers may receive a few small gifts ( usually chocolates) at the very end of a school year, but usually these are given to the most popular female teachers. In no way are they intended as a bribe but an expression of liking, and as a goodbye gift.
In China, I was delighted to receive little gifts: sweets and flowers, at this time last year, and gifts and thanks from the school. I must agree that some parents in China hold that they give teachers expensive gifts for the sake of their children. One father sent a van full of boxes of expensive cakes as gifts for all the teachers in one grade. Such gifts do nothing to induce teachers to give more attention to his child, yet are clearly seen as some sort of bribe. The most precious gifts are little things that students have bought or made by themselves as genuine offers of thanks and friendship.
Seneca (China)
I think gifts given to teachers are not the ideal way of showing a form of deference; it would be much better if teachers were treated with the respect they deserve throughout the whole year. If a Teachers’ Day is needed it should be held in a uniform manner, possibly as a national holiday.
Patrick (the US)
Instead of buying gifts, why not encourage children to make small gifts, drawing or paper flowers, or even a simple card? A small gift of love should be the greatest gift of all to a good teacher. I got one, and nothing could make me happier.
Mess (the US)
Yes, but not necessarily for special care. When I was in school some parents used to give gifts at the end of the school year. As it was Christmas season, many people exchange gifts and in this case some parents give gifts to teachers to show their appreciation for their efforts.
I don’t think giving gifts before the work has been done or completed is a good idea. The teachers should do their job without expecting any monetary benefits from parents. Teaching system should be equal for everybody, and shouldn’t involve special care or extra things.
Sivester (the US)
In Massachusetts, it’s OK to give a gift to your teacher. However, if the gift costs more than the allowed amount, the teacher cannot accept it.
Tammy (Singapore)
It is simply a matter of ethics. If teachers show favoritism based on a gift they have received from a student or for any other reasons, then they need to be reprimanded. The school system should have confidence on the teachers. I see nothing wrong with showing appreciation to our teachers for what they have done.

My Views on Giving Gifts on Teachers’ Day Each Teachers’ Day has become a headache for parents for whom it is hard to decide what they should give as gifts to teachers of their children. Supporters believe that giving gifts is a token of appreciation of the teachers’ efforts. Opponents worry gifts may turn into some sort of bribe with which parents expect that special care should fall on their children. Besides, in many countries, gifts are strictly prohibited unless they are either small ones or the ones hand-made by children themselves to show their love for their teachers. Odd as this may seem, each Teachers’ Day witnesses troubled parents who find it so hard to decide what gifts should be given to the teachers of their kids either as a token of their appreciation or an inclination towards favoritism over their kids. On this day, well-chosen gifts which range from boxes of chocolate, delicate bouquets to expensive electronic gadgets and even cash pile on teachers’ desks, making it a dilemma for teachers too. Why does this ridiculous phenomenon exist particularly in China? Some gifts are meant to show the kids’ love and deference for their teachers while others are more likely to be some sort of bribe through which parents expect extra attention or special care from teachers. As an exchange of these usually expensive, and sometimes luxurious gifts, parents covet unfair devotion to their own kids such as special arrangement of kids’ seats inside a classroom or favoritism of the election of class leaders. Their avarice shown through these gifts is nothing but contamination of both teachers’ professionalism and children’s innocent love. Therefore, strict laws should be enforced to specify what gifts are allowed for the teachers from students. Clearing the ambiguous boundaries between the acceptable and the unacceptable may be the best way to end this nettlesome muddle or it is deemed to end up with a sting in the tail.
