Whats one supposed to do if they totally forgot to tip teachers on chanuka? I would love to express my gratitude to one teacher in particular. Do I just send a check tomorrow? Just like that? Do I write anything differently?

Also, my daughter has 2 teachers. Is it okay if I send a tip only to one teacher? This teacher is very devoted and my daughter very much enjoys her. However, she dislikes the other teacher. Do I tip her as well? What would you write in such an instance? (When your not really so grateful Confused )

Was thinking that, but this year purim is a month later. Its a pity to wait that long. This teacher is so extra devoted, I don't want to come across as ungrateful until then.

Better late than never. And you really should give both teachers. Just write something neutral like “thanks for all your hard work” etc.

Can you privately give something to the teacher you want to tip and just write in the card sorry this is late.

I would tip and write something that I didn’t forget about the teacher and we are so grateful for her devotion.

Thanks. But I want something a bit more neutral than hard work. I don't think shes working too hard Wink

Don’t send it tomorrow or else she will think you tip on x-mas and not Chanukah:) rather send for rosh chodesh or something.
Also you must tip both teachers, but maybe put their names on sealed envelope and give less to other one.

Rather than just giving money on a random Monday, you can give a little bit every Rosh Chodesh.
Many teachers discuss what they receive. Make sure to write a note according of appreciation according to effort put in.

Ha! This thought abt x-mas just occured to me, and was thinking to send rather on Wednesday. Was interesting to see you mentioning it.

Is it so weird if I tip late, and don't mention anything about it being belated?? You think they won't realize it must be I had forgotten on chanuka?

How about sending on chamushe user beshvet? It’s almost here and is more special than a random day even though it’s not tipping time. U can write something along the lines of sowing/planting/investing time and energy and reaping the fruits/good results.

Also if a student likes one teacher less than the other isn’t yet a sign that she’s actually less of a good teacher. Just something to think about.

When I was a kid, if I told my mother I didn't like a certain teacher or counselor and she doesn't have to tip that one, she'd say maybe I need to tip that one more! Wink She meant that I might be giving that teacher a hard time.
It also goes the other way. If the teacher is the one giving your daughter a hard time, a tip of can sometimes help soften her.
I have this with FedEx delivery guys. The ones that give me a hard time, I need to make sure to tip, and hopefully that greases some wheels.

Can I just say..
I'm a teacher. If I get a gift of any kind, any amount, at any time, I say thank you and appreciate it very much.

I tip on Xmas because that's when I have a couple days off of work and can spare some brain cells for these things! Laugh
