Related customs and activities

Because there are many legal holidays in the United States, and there are countless unofficial holidays like Teacher's Day, most American parents can remember this special holiday. Most parents choose to celebrate this festival by sending emails to their teachers. E-mail in America is widely used. Although it was a virtual gift, the teachers were very happy after receiving it. ? Xie Shizhou? It is the happiest time for teachers, and many students who have graduated will send emails to congratulate them.

Many schools in America have parents' associations. When Teacher's Day comes, parents often buy a small gift for their teacher. In the evening, everyone will hold a party for their teacher. The get-together is not about eating and drinking, but about preparing fruits, snacks and sweets and chatting with teachers. The content of the chat is also different from that in China. Students' grades are never mentioned at parties, mainly because of their parents' shortcomings.

What do American parents give their teachers?

In the eyes of Americans, the teacher is just a guide, not an authority. Students can boldly oppose the teacher's opinion and call them by their first names. The teacher-student relationship is an equal friend relationship. However, this does not mean that teachers are not respected in America.

Although Teacher's Day in the United States is unofficial, most Americans pay more attention to it, and most parents and students will try their best to express their gratitude.

Blogger Gao Weiwei is concerned about this issue, and he is also curious about how American students and parents can thank their teachers.

To sum up, the common ones are as follows:

1. Send an email or send a greeting card (a homemade greeting card and a photo with a thank-you note).

The thank-you cards made by American children for teachers are lovely and warm.

2. Buy a small gift (a bunch of flowers and a hair band are all students' wishes).

3. Handmade works (it can be handicrafts or baked snacks, and the key point is to be self-made, which can better reflect gratitude)

During Teachers' Day in America, students and parents make cupcakes for teachers.

The students wrote their blessings and thanks to the teacher together.

4. Send gift cards (Americans like gift cards very much, which is very convenient. In addition to gift cards from shops and restaurants, teacher gift cards can also be gift cards from shops that provide teaching supplies. )

5. Send tickets (such as tickets for sports competitions, plays, concerts and other entertainment activities)

6. Parents unite to hold a party for the teacher (parties usually mainly eat fruit, snacks or candy, and chat with the teacher. The topic rarely talks about children's grades, and often exchanges some interesting things about children at home and at school, or parents are short)

Teacher's Day luncheon poster, teachers and parents chat and talk together.

7. Donation activities (for example, parents can apply to be volunteers in the teacher's class and donate some items to the class or school).

8. Raise funds and give gifts (assign a parent to raise funds and buy vouchers for teachers)

The National Parent-Teacher Association recently surveyed some teachers' views on student gifts. The survey results show that thank-you cards are teachers' favorite gifts, and food is not very popular. In addition, what can be used in class is definitely the best choice for teachers.

In addition, after the shooting on campus in the United States, it was suggested that parents raise funds to buy bulletproof vests for teachers.

Can't accept the banquet

In America, it is very rare for parents to invite teachers to dinner. According to the rules and regulations of American schools, teachers cannot accept parents or students to invite them to dinner. Once discovered, the teacher is likely to be dismissed.

In the eyes of Americans, eating parents' meals is likely to affect teachers' judgment on children and may be biased.

A parent who just immigrated to the United States heard that American Teachers' Day was coming, and wanted to invite teachers to dinner and sit together. I asked all the teachers, but no one went. Parents thought that the teacher didn't like his children, but later they learned that it was because of school regulations.

The value of the gift can't exceed 5 dollars.

On Teachers' Day, teachers are very happy to receive small gifts, but it is another matter to receive expensive gifts. There is a rule in new york that the gift value of each student should not exceed $5. The education department not only limits the value of gifts, but also emphasizes that students should follow when giving gifts to teachers? Voluntary and cheap? Principle. An official of the Ministry of Education said that this regulation is to avoid conflicts of interest between teachers and students and to avoid unfair treatment of students by teachers.

I once heard a friend say that their children's school celebrated Teachers' Day, and a China parent bought a gift worth $30 for each teacher.

Later, the gift was returned intact, and the teacher's reason was that the school would not allow it, and violation of the regulations would be punished.

At a forum for international students, I saw a China parent whose child had just arrived in Seattle to go to school and bought an Ipod for the teacher, thanking the teacher for his help. It was about $200. The teacher immediately said it was too expensive to accept. Seeing that parents insisted on sending them, the teacher said that they could donate them to their school library.

But the next day, parents received a gift and a letter from school. The letter said: out of respect for my family, I accept the gift and donate it to the school library. However, the school policy is that no institution or teacher can accept gifts from the applicant's family.

This policy is formulated to prevent unqualified applicants from being accepted. Your son was admitted only because of his own merits. We want to minimize these signs and make him feel that being accepted is a gift to help him.
