Advice | Teachers, parents share advice on whether and how to approach end-of-year gifts

TORONTO - In the fleeting days of the school year, some students will head to class with more than books, lunch and excitement for their impending summer off.

“From my experience, it depends on the community, it depends on the context, it depends on the family, the individual student and also the relationship with this teacher,” said Rabia Khokhar, an elementary school teacher in Toronto. Paolo De Buono, a seventh grade teacher in Toronto, agreed that if you plan to give something, making it personalized to the teacher’s interests or lessons is key.

“It was touching because I made a point to teach inclusively that year and it was the first year that my school board was celebrating Pride month,” De Buono recalled.It prompted De Buono to check his board’s policy around gifting. He found his board allows teachers to accept gifts so long as their value does not exceed $100.
