Really? And I love getting homemade stuff. So yummy! Huh. Why would they get thrown out? My chocolate cake is pretty awesome!

depending where you live if the teachers will "trust the kashrus" of the families. Then you also have people who have a thing with "cleanliness" or whatever. Like I remember someone saying she doesn't want to eat something from someone with a pet, it grossed her out. Growing up we never sent anything homemade. Everything had the hechsher on it.

When I was a kid, I had a classmate who'd give me a mini chocolate cake with a candy of some sort attached every single year. And every single year my mother made me throw it out. I was devastated... until I was old enough to realize that the house was unhygienic, flying, and the whole family was just kind of "off." My mother's a clean freak, but once I reached a certain age I was grossed out by that house too.
Anyway, with rebbeim and teachers, they may eat only yoshon or heimish hechsherim or something and won't eat homemade food from people they don't know well.

If a 350 degree oven can kill salmonella, I'm pretty sure it can kill whatever germs you thought her house was crawling with.

I'm a preschool teacher- I think your child would be absolutely the proudest little guy/girl, handing their home-made mm to their morah!! And I do feel an extra "something nice" (bottle o' something) would be appropriate to go with it...

Not when the whole family, including runny-nosed filthy-handed little brothers and sisters, "helped" with the frosting and decorations.

As a teacher for many years I can't agree with u more:)

A teacher has to work hard. Therefore they deserve something chashuv. You can give you thing plus a gift. People spend $25-50

Rebbe and teacher family here.
I love getting home made stuff. There's no one in my class or dh's class that I wouldn't eat from.

The kids still get to visit their rebbes on Purim which is usually their highlight of the day. |
We do this-- but we don't even go to the Rebbes. We send it in the day before.

I never tip or gift or send a MM.
We are asked to send the child with one MM to trade with a kid.

Teachers and rebbeim for sure get a much nicer mishloach manos than standard neighbors etc.... After all, they teach our children!!
So it's either a more elaborate and expensive mishloach manos, or includes a gift or gift card.

For rebbeim I send a bottle of wine in a nice wine bag with some sort of bought chocolate pretzels and ofcourse a nice tip.
For teachers I send a box of chocolates or bought decorated cookies and an envelope with cash.
It’s the envelope that matters not the food.

My boys love showing their rebbes their costumes , and they dance with the Rebbe who is also dressed up, while my DH takes pictures. My boys love looking at those pictures from kindergarten through 8th grade. They are special moments.

So, this year for shalach manos my boys are decorating white paper bags to put our goodies in. I found a pack of white sandwich bags at Walmart that were 50 for a dollar, and we've been spending many a relaxing evening painting, stickering, coloring, and gluing sequins on them. Each is unique, and so beautiful. We baked chocolate cakes with chocolate frosting and will add some candies or taffys or something. Inexpensive, yummy, and so so so fun!
A friend of mine was over yesterday during a bag-decorating session, and asked what I'm going to do about my boys’ rebbes and morahs. Apparently, people give much fancier stuff to their kids teachers. I've always given them the same thing our neighbors, friends and family get, but I've never been giving out somethings quite so... umm.... homemade. I suppose I could just wrap chocolate cakes with little bottles of chocolate liquor in cellophane bags for the teachers. This might be more appropriate. But the kids have been enjoying designating different ‘special’ bags for different people, and have already made bags for some of the rebbes and morahs. Can we at least use these for the preschool teachers, if not for the school aged kids’ rebbaim?
Thoughts, anyone? |
Yes I do
I feel They deserve something extra special from parents.
Kids could give them what they themselves made but parents should give something individually in my opinion.
B/c I don’t give Chanukah gifts to the teachers/rebbes. If u do, that’s different
