  Case: Receiving Gifts
Are we to receive monetary gifts from parents? What if a parent gives you $100 just because. What are you suppose to do?

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!)
It's not appropriate for teachers to receive or take gifts as a token of gratitude. Dismiss any offer in proper fashion and direct the gift to another cause.

Comments: I think it depends on the gift, dismissing gifts might hurt the student & parent's feelings and seem ungrateful.
