I think it's more of an elementary school thing, since my friends who teach middle and high school complain how unfair it is that I get flowers, cards, notepaper sets, etc... Of course then they remind me how they get a nice long (relatively speaking) prep each day. I remember getting gifts for my elementary teachers, but not my junior high or high school teachers. My parents said it was just too hard since I had so many teachers. The best gift I ever got was a partial gift certificate to the local day spa. It wasn't enough to cover a service, but that meant I could get pampered for a "discount."
