It can be a little bit dirty, but not anything really raunchy, because there will be some kids at the party.

why do teachers insist on treating the children in their class like crap?
roope its pronounced (ro h0 pae) asked:
its not their fault the teachers got a job there so why take it out on them I can only look at this through one perspective and that is teachers should only be able to teach 5 years then people dont have to wait for them to retire, because every day is the same routine. whine whine whine THE KIDS DONT GIVE A CRAP WHAT YOU THINK. any teachers that see this dont get offended. also this is from a middle school perspective not elementary.
high school also.

Retired Teacher Gift?
tracy1051 asked:
My husband has been invited to a retirement party for his 4th grade teacher. He is over 40 years old, so it was quite some time ago that she has taught him! He is attending the party, but doesn’t want to go empty handed. After all they went through the trouble of tracking him down after all these years!! What would be a good gift? Also, I suggested he dress “nice” for this occasion. He usually wears jeans/shorts, & a T shirt w/ sneakers. I suggested khaki pants, nice dress shirt & shoes. He doesn’t agree. He says thats not him!! Am I right or wrong? The party is at a ritzy hotel!! Any ideas & opinions would be greatly appreciated! (Party is only 3 weeks away!)
