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!)
At my school we are allowed to receive gifts from parents and students. I have never had the issue of receiving an inappropriate gift. If my school did not allow gifts, I would make sure when the first big holiday rolled around I would send out a letter to all the parents explaining the situation. I am sure most parents would understand. |

| Comments: If I were in this situation, I would exactly do this. I think this would be a good idea, maybe possibly even in the school newspaper/letter (if there is one), which would eliminate running into this situation all together. |
