Taking to Reddit the teacher shared a snap of their disappointing present, captioning the image 'What my school gave its teachers for Teacher Appreciation Week.'
Much like the end of term in the UK, Teacher Appreciation Week is celebrated in the US by giving staff gifts as an acknowledgement of their hard work.
But in this case the teacher would rather they hadn't bothered at all.
The teacher revealed they had been given a total of seven Starburst sweets for being 'the star of our school.'

But that's not all, they were also handed a sheet of bubble wrap with the instructions to 'pop every hour' as a form of stress relief.
Fellow Redditors were equally baffled by the lacklustre gift, sharing their thoughts in the comments.
One wrote: "This is so insulting.'
'Not even a whole pack though, how cheap can you possibly be,' added another.

But there's also a free item that takes minutes to do and isn't a handmade card.
One teacher shared a free idea that is so simple but really effective: "An email to the headteacher saying how amazing we are."

Separating fact from fiction on that time Ozzy Osbourne bit the head off a bat
IT'S ONE OF the most infamous stories from Ozzy Osbourne's storied career, summing up the chaotic excess that marked his time in music and entertainment for more than half a century. But what is the fact and the fiction to the story of Osbourne – who died yesterday aged 76 – supposedly biting his head off a real live bat? While not exactly a rubber-stamped iteration of FactCheck , let's have a go at separating the fact from the fiction on the incident. In 1982, Osbourne was on a solo tour of the US which had brought him to Des Moines, Iowa. He was promoting his second solo album, Diary of a Madman, and – befitting the man and the album name – a convention of his shows was that Osbourne would fling raw meat into his audience. According to some reports of the time, he had literally rigged a catapult to launch raw meat into the audience. His audience took to the growing tradition and began coming with animal parts of their own to return fire. Makes sense. In one instance during the Des Moines show, Osbourne picked up a critter thrown on the stage and, apparently thinking it was a rubber toy bat, bit its head off. Advertisement As reported by local newspaper Des Moines Register at the time , the rocker left the city with a 'four-day supply of rabies vaccine and a bat taste in his mouth'. Dead or alive Accounts seem settled on it not being a rubber bat, but conflicting versions start to appear on a crucial aspect: was the bat dead or alive at the time Osbourne took the bite? According to his 2010 autobiography, I Am Ozzy, Osbourne quickly felt a 'warm, goopy liquid' in his mouth and realised it was not a rubber bat after all. The creature even 'twitched' in his mouth. At least that's one telling of the story, because he had told a slightly different story four years earlier to the BBC. On that occasion, the singer said he thought it 'was one of them Halloween joke bats because it had some string around its neck'. After biting into it, he sees his his wife and then manager Sharon Osbourne gesturing to him. 'And I'm like, what you talking about,' Osbourne said in 2006. After Sharon tells him it's a 'dead, real bat', the singer realised what he'd done. The fan who has claimed credit for the bat was 17-year-old Mark Neal, who supposedly came upon the bat after finding it outside his school. In another sign that there are elements of Chinese whispers to this story, other tellings recount that it was actually Neal's brother who had found the bat and brought it home, only for the poor creature to die. But either way, Neal kept the bat in his freezer for about two weeks before the show took place and has been widely accepted as the one who flung the animal corpse at Osbourne – and accidentally creating an infamous moment in music history.
