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!) The code of ethics does not state that you are not allowed to accept gifts. It states "An educator shall maintain integrity with students, colleagues, parents, patrons, or businesses when accepting gifts, gratuities, favors, and additional compensation." In my interpretation, this means that an educator can accept tokens and small gifts with no ulterior motive in mind. If the gift is offered as gratitude, with no strings attached, it is acceptable. However, I think it is up to the teacher to know where to draw the line as far as how grand the "gesture" can be. |
