Speaking as a teacher here: do not buy any teacher anything, as in NOTHING.

I would be super weirded out if a student gave me something.

We had a student of more years than most, present the teacher’s lounge with a chocolate basket once, and everyone thought it was strange. So presenting a teacher with a personal gift would be even stranger.

But if you insist on getting her a gift, perfume would be up there with lingerie and jewelry … WTF dude?

what should you do? how about you decide what it is that you want to say. Like “you did so and so, that meant a lot for me because of so and so”.

• Figure out what to say
• make sure you don’t spend more than 30 or 45 seconds to say it.
