and in my time, it was flowers...

Flowers seem to be the normal gift , in Poland , Belarus , Russia , and Ukraine...but what about male teachers...do they usually get flowers too...?

If you read some of the stories of greedy teachers requesting 'gifts,' you might change your mind.

Of course corruption is not unknown in Russia , and also in Poland , my girlfriend is fortunate to work at a school for gifted children where the standards are very high...

The school is a music and theatre school , and my lady teaches Russian language and culture....heh...she is going to have a challenge teaching me Russian...!

I don't think teachers buy gifts for their barber or shoemaker.

Shoemakers do not influence a childs life in quite the same way a teacher does , they have a huge responsibility to turn out well educated and decent kids , and help shape a kids future as much as a parent does..

My girlfriend is a teacher in Russia , and she works many hours beyond her school hours to prepare lessons for the kids , and she is very proud that her kids have a pass rate for exams well above the averidge....

They have a teachers day in Russia , and on this day she gets so many flowers and gifts there is not room for them all in her flat , she has to put some at her daughters....

I think that being a teacher goes way beyond what you could call a job , and its nice that their efforts are appreciated....
