"As we approach the end of the school year, many families are thinking about
what might be an appropriate gift to thank teachers.

Meanwhile, teachers are preparing for an inundation of scented candles, boxes
of chocolates and pot plants as they head into a well-deserved summer break.

As a former high school teacher, I remember receiving plenty of these gifts.
Most would sit in a drawer, or be quickly eaten and forgotten about. The pot
plants often wilted.

If you are a cash-strapped parent or carer and wish to genuinely express
thanks, how best can you do this, particularly in a cost-of-living crisis?"

Cheers,
