　　Many parents have to think hard about what to givetheir children's teachers on Teachers' Day, which fallson Sept 10 this year. Should teachers accept thesegifts from parents or their students? Share yourviews with us.

　　9月10日“教師節”馬上就要到了，許多家長正在為孩子向老師送什么禮物而頭疼。那么，教師是否應該接受學生或家長的禮物呢?下面是一些觀點。

　　Ave (UK): I find the concept of Teachers' Day a bitodd actually. It is not something that happens in theUK as far as I know. In the UK, acceptance of giftsby teachers is strictly prohibited, especially gifts that have been purchased or giving cash asgift.

　　Ave(英國)：實際上，我認為教師節接受學生禮物有些怪異。據我所知，在英國是沒有出現過的情況，教師接受禮物是被嚴格限制的，特別是花錢購買的禮物或給現金作為禮物。

　　Obviously, if a child bestows a gift that they have made or the proverbial 'apple for teacher'then that is different, that can be considered an act of endearment. To refuse in this casewould probably do more harm than good.

　　顯然，如果孩子送給老師的禮物是親手制作的，或是眾所周知的“送老師蘋果”就不同了，這會被理解為對老師敬愛的表現。這種情況下拒絕禮物可能會弊大于利。

　　PatrickInBeijing (US): Instead of parents buying gifts, why not encourage children to makesmall gifts, drawing or paper flowers, or even a simple card? A small gift of love should be thegreatest gift of all to a good teacher. I got one, and nothing could make me happier.

　　PatrickInBeijing (美國)：既然要家長買禮物，為何不鼓勵孩子自己制作一個小禮物呢?比如一幅手工畫或者紙花，甚至一張簡單的賀卡也可以。一份充滿愛意的小禮物是對一位好老師最好的禮物了。我曾經就收到過一個，令我非常開心。

　　TedM (UK): In my school in England teachers may receive a few small gifts (usuallychocolates) at the very end of a school year, but usually these are given to the most popularfemale teachers. In no way are they intended as a bribe but an expression of liking, and as agoodbye gift. In fact some teachers would spend their money on large amounts of sweets fortheir students at Christmas, Easter or at the end of the school year. This practice forced manyteachers to do the same as their students then expected the same treatment.

　　TedM (英國)：在英國，我的老師在學年結束的時候會受到一些小禮物，大部分是巧克力，但通常是非常受歡迎的女老師才能收到這些禮物。這絕不會被認為是行賄，而是表達愛戴之情，同時也是離別禮物。事實上，一些老師可能還要花費一筆錢來購買糖果，在圣誕節、復活節或學年結束的時候發給學生。許多老師必須要這樣做，讓學生感受到公平對待。

　　pkhfighter (China): I want to share a story. When I was in senior high middle school, theGaokao was around the corner, the competition in my province was so fierce that it was reallyhard to get admitted to a good school. I was unable to concentrate on my studies and had noidea why. My parents were worried, but my teacher paid no attention to me because he thoughtI was not good enough to get admitted to a famous college, such as Peking University orTsinghua University. But one day, at the end of the class, my teacher sat down with me andhad a chat. You will never know how grateful I was. After my final examination I found out thatmy parents had given the teacher some money, which is why he had the chat with me. In myopinion, he is not a competent teacher, especially as far as his character is concerned.

　　pkhfighter (中國)：我想分享一個故事。在我上高中的時候，臨近高考，我所在的省份競爭非常激烈，想要進入一所好大學非常難。我無法集中精力學習，也不知道其中原因。父母親都非常擔憂，我的老師卻無暇顧及我，他認為我沒有希望進入一所好的高校，像清華北大那樣。但有一天下課后，我的老師坐在我旁邊同我交談了一會兒。我不知道有多么感激她。期末考試后，我發現是父母給老師錢，所以她才同我談心。我認為他不是一個稱職的老師，特別是在人品方面。

　　Seneca (expat in China): I think gifts given to teachers are not the ideal way of showing aform of deference; it would be much better if teachers were treated with the respect theydeserve throughout the whole year. If a Teachers' Day is needed it should be held in auniform manner, possibly as a national holiday.

　　Seneca (在華外籍人士)：我認為給老師送禮物并不是最好的方式來表達尊重，如果教師能在全年都能受到應有的尊重是最好了。如果教師節很有必要，應該舉行統一的儀式，或者作為一個國家法定假日。

　　messi30 (US): Yes, but not necessarily for special care. When I was in school some parentsuse to give gifts at the end of the school year. As it was Christmas season, many peopleexchange gifts and in this case some parents give gifts to teachers to show their appreciationfor their efforts.

　　messi30 (美國)：可以接受，但不應受到特殊對待。我上學的時候，一些家長經常在學年結束的時候向老師送禮物。比如圣誕季的時候，許多人都會交換禮物，這種情況下，一些家長為感謝老師們的努力貢獻，會向老師送禮物。

　　I don't think giving gifts before the work has been done or completed is a good idea. Theteachers should do their job without expecting any monetary benefits from parents. Teachingsystem should be equal for everybody, and shouldn't involve special care or extra things.

　　我認為在工作結束或完成之前送禮物不好。教師應該做好本職工作，不要奢求家長的任何金錢利益。教育制度要人人平等，不應涉及特殊對待或額外內容。

　　SDIvester (US): In Massachusetts, and most likely in all the States, it's OK to give a gift toyour teacher. However, if the gift costs more than the allowed amount, the teacher cannotaccept it.

　　SDIvester (美國)：在馬薩諸塞州以及美國絕大多數地區，向教師送禮可以接受。但禮物價值若超過了規定數額，教師不得接受。

　　Dutchie76 (Australia): I think it's absolutely ridiculous the amount of money parents seemto be spending on buying presents for teachers. In most companies and organizations you'renot allowed to accept personal gifts from clients/customers so why should a teacher be anydifferent? They're only doing their job.

　　Dutchie76 (澳大利亞)：我認為父母將錢花費在為教師購買禮物上，是非常荒唐透頂了。在絕大多數公司和機構中，不允許接受客戶或顧客的私人禮物，為什么教師要與眾不同?他們只是在做本職工作。

　　Tammy (Singapore): It is simply a matter of ethics. If a teacher shows favoritism based on agift they have received from a student or for any other reason then they need to bereprimanded. The school system should have enough faith in the teachers not to act in such amanner.

　　Tammy (新加坡)：這只是一個道德問題。如果一名教師因為受到學生的禮物或其他原因而出現了偏袒行為，應當受到譴責。學校制度應該有足夠的信心，相信他們的教師不會這樣做。
