These stocking stuffers can land you in detention.
A former teacher reveals three so-called gifts no teacher wants To receive during the holidays.
“If you’ve been in class long enough you’ve probably gotten one of these This ‘gift’ This is not the blessing you expected,” content creator Natalie captioned a sharp social post It has resurfaced just in time for the festive season.
For starters, she advises against anything from Victoria’s Secret — yes, even lotions or perfumes.
“I don’t care if you didn’t give them underwear,” she quipped. “That lotion stinks and now you have a Victoria’s Secret bag on your desk. This is very strange.”
Next, don’t even think about giving “an unannounced giant gift for the whole class” – fun for kids, but a nightmare for teachers.
They are forced to deal with the consequences of their young students eating sugar and the accident that follows.
“Listen, it’s great that you want to get everyone a donut, but you have to ask in advance if and when the teacher agrees to it,” Natalie explained.
“That’s too much sugar, especially for young children.”
Finally, teachers “don’t want your advancement.”
“A few fathers have tried to come on to me over the years and it’s uncomfortable,” he said.
“Remember, you have the entire school year to work together—maybe just go online and find someone,” she suggested.
While Natalie’s informational clip was helpful to parents, viewers were divided on whether she was “reasonable” or “snotty” and “ungrateful.”
“Or, just say thanks and show some gratitude,” one person quipped.
Another joked, “I might not give them anything though lol.”
One critic wrote, “I’m so glad I stopped buying gifts for teachers a long time ago.”
“I’m a teacher and I’m grateful for every gift a student brings me,” someone else said.
In fact, some school personnel said they had received a fragrance from Victoria’s Secret before, calling it “the best gift ever”.
One user said, “I think you should be deeply grateful for whatever gift someone gives you.” “I am a former teacher and I feel blessed to have been given this consideration had I chosen this.”
However, others agreed with Natalie.
“Parents need to ask first,” one person wrote, referencing sweet treats and noting that teachers should be mindful of food allergies. “You can’t bring anything in without their knowledge.”
“All these reasons are justified. Excessive exposure to perfume and sugar in children = migraine for the whole day. Are children being beaten by their parents? Gross,” someone else commented.
