(You know because we are "special") But who knows. <BR/><BR/>I think that if you like the teacher, give them a small gift. If not, then you shouldn't be obligated. I wonder if it does indeed violate some sort of ethics codes...<BR/><BR/>But I am all suspicious like that.Nauntie Lushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02602913238961361850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3907946873510264197.post-42313796542252159432008-05-27T21:54:00.000-07:002008-05-27T21:54:00.000-07:00Ooohhhh...is this what I have to look forward to? ...Ooohhhh...is this what I have to look forward to?
