What I have always found so interesting about people's take on Teacher Appreciation, Secretary's Day, and all that jazz, is that these are the same people who never leave a tip for their paper carrier.

My son was a paper carrier from age 8 to 16. 365 days a year, Out there on Christmas morning delivering papers instead of opening his presents. Rain, Snow, 30 degrees below zero. And less than 25% of his customers left him a tip on Christmas. He ALWAYS delivered the paper on time, EXACTLY where they wanted it.

And I would bet that many of you who are championing for Teacher's Appreciation Day have never left a tip for your paper carrier, and said "It's his/her job. I don't tip people for doing their job."

Is Teacher Appreciation Day a "tip" for the teacher?

I have nothing against any of these Appreciation Days for any profession. It's just interesting to hear the different takes on it.
