Speaker 1 (00:00):
So this has been my first year of primary school
with a child. Yes, and that has meant that at
the end of this year, there's been Christmas cards being written. Yeah,
pop giving them to the friends at school candy cane.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Do I remember in high school like Christmas cards were
a huge thing. You had to really write something funny
but also a bit meaningful to friends. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Well, luckily Betty is only kindergarten, so she just wrote
two name from Betty.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Oh god, my name still does that for birthday can? Yes,
she leaves the meaningful stuff up to Hallmark.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
I really think that they just want the candy cane
or chocolate elf that you put in the card. That's
really what the six year olds are there for. But
on top of this, there is the gift for teachers
at the end of the year to say thank you
for dealing with my child.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Yeah. I do remember my mum when she say are
we going to give someone? So it's a gift, I'd
be like, yeah, I guess, So what should we get them?
You always just say something like what about bath soap?
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Well I went with it.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Just a cracker of hand crems, oh okay, right, and
some Linch chocolate.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Okay, that's nice. Now, as a teacher, you must think
this is a great time of year, maximum especially it's chalky.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Yeah, you're not going to say no to Chocky. A
couple of hand crims in the school draw for next year.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
That's all now I can just say to you, even
though Mum bought gifts for a lot of my teachers
over the years, I didn't get better grades for it.
So no, I don't think it's just in case you
think that's great. Well, you know you can hope.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
There is someone who is online who is a teacher,
and she has mentioned three things that she never wants
to receive as a teacher. Again. Number one is anything
in a Victoria's secret bag. Doesn't matter if it's a
hand lotion, it's an uncomfortable thing to receive.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Dad's been to the shop. I know what I'm going
to get, missus Whiting. I love that.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Teachers also do not want you to bring sweet treats
for the whole class. It just means they have a
bunch of kids hyped up on sugar. It's fine if
you want to get them a sweet treat, but if
all the class has it, then they're just dealing with
hyperactive children essentially, and the last one, I don't want
(02:23):
your advances. I've had a few dads try to come
on to me over the years.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
It's just uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
I don't think it is a gift. That's the opposite
of a gift. So I want to know on thirteen
ten sixty, maybe you're a teacher who's received an unusual gift,
or you are a parent who has allowed your kid
to go with their gut on what they're giving their
teacher at the end of the year. Just those interesting
(02:49):
end of year presence, because there's been things like half
eet and Mars bars given to the teachers and a
stolen engagement ring from another one. Wow, so obviously they've
gone and found mum's engagement ring and.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Just brought it in. Brought it in.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Oh, that's just that's.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Just a ring, all right. Thirteen ten sixty, We want
to know if you're a teacher, what are the gifts
that you have received over the Christmas is gone?

Speaker 2 (03:30):
Okay, what what what kind of gifts? I'm just going

Yeah, there shouldn't be a debate around chocolate. Sean reckons
that there's a debate about chocolate. You're allowed to give chocky, right,
aren't you.

I have the product right. They're expensive products, right, and.
