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 important to understand your district's policy on accepting gifts. I have parents buy me gifts all the time. However, I make sure to convey to them the county's policy on this matter and that my rejection of this gift is not reflected of any personal beliefs of my own, but of the county's policy.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: If I were in this situation, I would exactly do this.
