Should you buy a teacher a gift?
IF you are wondering whether or not to buy your child's teacher an end-of-year gift, look no further...
As the summer holidays fast approach, Fabulous Senior Digital Writer and mum-of-two Sarah Bull weighs in on whether you should feel obliged to buy your kids' teachers a present to mark the end of term.
Sarah said: "It can be pricey trying to keep the kids entertained during six weeks off school.
"But before the end of term, parents all over the country are also trying to budget for gifts for their kids' teachers too.
"With teachers, teaching assistants, SEN specialists and other beloved staff members to buy for, it can be an expensive business.
"And while lots of schools actively discourage parents from spending their money on end-of-term presents for teachers, I consider it an obligation.
"After all - I know how tough my kids can be at home, and their teachers have to keep them in check for the majority of the day - so don't they deserve a token of appreciation?
"I also wouldn't want my children to feel left out when their friends arrive at school armed with pressies for their teachers.
"While some parents go all out with gifts, with alcohol and flowers popular choices, I'll be doing my best to stay at the £5 mark for each of the four staff members I'll be buying for.
"And with some fab options in stores like Poundland, Home Bargains and B&M, it should be easy for me to stick to my budget."
But at the same time, not everyone was keen on the gift, as one person said: 'Teachers must roll their eyes.'
Another added: 'Teachers would rather have wine.'

A third commented: 'Teachers must hate these presents and the mugs, key rings etc. Just club together as parents, fiver each, and get them a voucher. Cheaper and easier!'
Someone else advised: 'Just give them the £5 worth of chocolate. More clutter isn't usually on the top of a teacher's wish list.'
And a fifth cheekily joked: 'The sort of people who would buy this probably also have 'Live Laugh Love' on the wall at home.'
