We have all received gifts from parents at some point in the school year; Christmas gifts, Birthday gifts, and teacher appreciation gifts. What is the limit of receiving gifts? Is this a breech in the code of ethics to receive such a gift? What should you do? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) All gifts are a breach of the ethics code. That being said, all teachers receive gifts during holidays, I feel like small gifts from the students are okay, but when it comes to parents giving you gifts, especially money of that amount, I feel like that would not be right to accept that. $100 is way different than a small teddy bear for Christmas.                 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: I agree. Monetary gifts, especially of that amount is like accepting another payment. A teddy bear is way different.

Follow the guidelines set up for your state and school.

Gifts that would be more respectful to the teacher would be better as long as they go along with the code of ethics for the state.
