Case: Gifts
I am a music teacher. I keep my students most of the time for 3 full years. In addition, I teach many of their siblings. I am the only guitar teacher in my county, and therefore, my course is extremely popular, and in many cases, I will have two or more siblings from the same family over the course of years. My problem is that because I do get closer to my students' families, they often send in gifts for various occasions or holidays. Our code of ethics states that educator's may not accept gifts in any form from students or parents. How do I handle this?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
It is appropriate to receive gifts of thanks, but not gifts for a payment of a service outside of school while that child is under your charge. For example, tutoring one of your students at the students home and you get paid for it. |

| Comments: I do not agree with this solution because I do not think it answers the problem at hand. Also accepting a gift in this case is not ethical, so just because it is appropriate to receive gifts just not mean she can. |

| Comments: In some places, there might be a rule where teachers/staff can’t receive gifts due to the code of ethics. In this person’s case, they could explain to the parents/students that they’re grateful for the gifts but if they accept it, they’ll end up getting in trouble. |

| Comments: Although I understand your solution, since their school doesn't allow gifts of any sort, this solution isn't beneficial. |
