@macGao4Gao … Where do you live? I want to put it on my “Never Move There” list. At my son’s school, students show gratitude for recommendations with everything from a heartfelt verbal thanks to a small gift or gift card. My teacher friends tell me that they are grateful when a student clearly appreciates their extra effort but that they don’t expect anything beyond a note and are even occasionally embarrassed when a gift arrives from a child that may not be able to afford it.
