The annual Teacher's Day is coming again, and students from all over the country will express their gratitude to their teachers in their own ways. However, how to give gifts to teachers has become a hot topic, and this year is no exception. From the traditional etiquette in China, there is nothing wrong with giving gifts to express gratitude and expressing gratitude to teachers in various forms. It is very good to send a bunch of flowers and a pen to the teacher on holidays, or to make some small gift cards to express your thoughts to the teacher.

But because of some ugly social phenomena, giving gifts on Teachers' Day has become a very dark behavior. However, the protagonists of this ugly transaction are teachers and parents. Parents hope that teachers can take more care of their children by giving gifts, while teachers choose the way and scope of so-called "care" for their children by giving gifts. In this way, teachers have lost their dignity, while parents have fallen into the hidden rules of society. The interaction between them has contributed to the breeding and spread of this ugly social atmosphere step by step.

Turning Teacher's Day into a "Gift Festival" not only distorts the original intention and intention of Teacher's Day, but also insults teachers themselves, which will eventually become the sorrow of education and society.

China is a country that stresses "courtesy". Apprentice Xie Shi should give gifts, relatives should also give gifts, and even normal communication between friends needs "ceremony", so there is no need to talk about "ceremony".

In fact, Teacher's Day is a day for parents, children and teachers to communicate with each other, and it is also a good opportunity to show that China people respect teachers and attach importance to teaching. Parents give teachers "gifts", not gold and silver treasures or cash bills, but a small token, a greeting, a card, a bunch of flowers, or even a touching "thank you" word. I believe that any competent teacher wants to get spiritual pleasure and enjoy the joy of teaching and educating people.

I remember that in the first few years after Teachers' Day, the school received many gifts every year, mostly donations from units, enterprises and society to improve school conditions or books and stationery for students. Why can't you continue to accept such gifts?

Therefore, I think teachers can give gifts on Teachers' Day, but it is better to send small gifts, greeting cards or a warm greeting, which can better express your respect for teachers and let teachers feel your heart, instead of just sending some valuable items, which is meaningless. Just like my teacher's day gift to my most beloved teacher this year, it is a small greeting card made by myself. Although this is not a valuable item, it expresses my gratitude. I believe that when the teacher sees the greeting card made by me personally, she will see my sweet smile in her eyes and feel particularly warm in her heart, because she has received my most sincere wishes and thanks. Therefore, dear classmates and parents, teachers' day gifts need sincerity, not meaningless gifts.
