I don't think teachers should accept teachers' day gifts, because teachers' job is mainly to teach and educate people. A qualified teacher should strictly abide by teachers' professional ethics and don't accept gifts from parents casually. I think the best gift for teachers is that students can develop morally, intellectually and physically in an all-round way. This time, a teacher in Henan shared a dynamic on social platforms. She said that she received teachers' day gifts, including a bunch of flowers and a box of moon cakes. There is also a box of drinks. After this video was exposed on the Internet, it still attracted the attention of many netizens, because everyone felt that as a teacher, we should not accept gifts from parents, let alone post such things on social platforms to show off. This kind of atmosphere is very bad.
Later, the female teacher involved also clarified that she claimed that the flowers were sent by her best friend and other gifts were sent by the school. None of these gifts were given by parents. Later, dancheng Education and Sports Bureau responded that teachers can't accept gifts from parents of students, and they will deal with them after verifying the situation. When Teacher's Day arrives every year, many parents want to show their feelings in front of teachers. In order to let teachers take care of their children in school, they often give gifts to teachers in private. They think that teachers will take special care of their children in this way. I don't think parents should have this mentality. Parents want to contact their teachers, so they can.
Teachers are a very noble profession. Being a teacher should be a strict requirement and accomplishment for teachers. Giving and receiving gifts is not the image of teachers in the eyes of students. If teachers get into the habit of accepting gifts, it may encourage students to compare with each other, and make those families with lower incomes have economic burdens. This is a very bad phenomenon. As parents, we should set a positive example for our children. In fact, I think the best gift for teachers is the progress and growth of children.
