Gifts for High School Teachers

Tuesday May 14, 2013

teacher with appleMy high school students were always asking me what I wanted for teacher appreciation week or at the end of the school year. Mostly, I'd reply something to the tune of "World peace" or "Your grade about nineteen percentage points higher" or something else equally as sweet.

Most of my students would roll their eyes and say, "Mrs. Roell, I'm serious."

Shrugging, I'd hand them this list and tell them to get shopping*: The Top 10 Gifts for High School Teachers.

*which is not entirely true. It is, however, a very good list if I do say so myself, and if my students weren't fortunate enough to receive it from me, then hopefully, this list will inspire you when you're shopping (if you must - we teachers truly don't expect a gift at the end of the year) for that teacher you're dying to spend your minimum wages on.

Mostly, teachers just want you to turn in your homework, though. Honestly.
