SIR - After reading this in the T&A on July 16 can I just say that after teaching for 38 years in the Shipley and Wrose area, I treasured gifts given by children but particularly the homemade ones. This showed real effort and love had been put into the gift. No one needs to spend money to make cards and gifts that will say a great deal to a teacher who has devoted a year caring and nurturing a child in class. Letters from parents offering a personal thank you are also much treasured.
