A follow up from my older asklemmy post, saying goodbye to a teacher who helped me a lot through my stuff, was thinking maybe chocolate, but one of the dudes said that it’s not a very good idea, I was thinking maybe a perfume/cologne? What do you guys suggest? She is in probably in her early 20s if it helps, and I am in senior high, damn this is getting weirder and weirder, I just want to run away lol
So I have seen this but idk what it is referring to
Teachers are famously scared of doctors.
It’s a common trope, in the US at least. The gift can be different in different countries. In the Philippines other local-made snacks might be brought for teachers.
Oh, didn’t know about, kinda weird
Kids gave apples because apples were free: on the way to school, you could pass an apple tree and pick an apple.
Now we’ve made the world where Nothing Ever Happens, and that includes both kids walking to school and apple trees growing anywhere.
Supposedly it comes from apples being an abundant source of food/water during periods when teachers weren’t paid in money. Also it can be made into alcohol easily. Potatoes were also popular for the same reasons but that didn’t stick as well.
So modern equivalent is probably chocolates with booze in them.
