year almost over, JUNIORS...give GIFTS to teachers to SUCK UP?

<p>so are you guys going to get your teacher gifts?
got any gift ideas?
how much are you spending?
how many teachers are you going for?</p>

<p>No.</p>

<p>Best gifts are from the heart.</p>

<p>I would write my teacher a note and give a box of chocolates (very common)</p>

<p>Or I might make some origami :O</p>

<p>albert, don't hate me for being machiavellious. i'm just trying to get an edge like everyone else...</p>

<p>The good teachers which have experience are usually the blunt ones that see past all the sucking up, so I don't see them buying into the semi-bribes. I might buy a present for my couselor however...</p>

<p>Well I'll tell you a quick story.
When I went to TX for the first time last December, we explored Texas and went to the Alamo and all that good stuff.
And at the time, I had a B for my semester, and I really wanted an A for the year in AP US History.
So... my dad offered to get a small gift from the Alamo gift shop for the teacher. And I got her a beautiful sparkly Alamo calendar and an Alamo cup with her name on it (Peggy).
As she graded papers, I think the cup was their in front of her for the rest of the year.
And I swear I got better grades after that, even though sometimes I felt <em>maybe</em> I didn't deserve THAT high of a grade..
So point of the story, I think it had something to do with the cup I gave her, and it turned out I got an A for the year.
Maybe you should get a gift that has something to do with her class (i.e. history teacher/Alamo)</p>
