Yeah, we do celebrate our teacher's birthdays...as long as it's a teacher who tells us when their birthday is! ;D Even if it's a lousy teacher, people will still celebrate....any excuse to have a cake/party in school!

In our school district, celebrating birthdays of either students or staff is strictly prohibited. Once a month, all the kids who have birthdays within that month are called to the cafeteria, and given a cookie and a pencil, but that's it. Staff are never recognized for birthdays. It's also prohibited for anyone to send flowers or anything like that to teachers for birthdays, anniversaries, etc. Teachers can give no more than 2 parties to their class(es) per school year, and those have to be approved at the beginning of the year, long before the students arrive. Most give a Christmas party and another one either right before we get out for Easter/Spring break, or before we get out for our brief summer break. Parties can last no more than 30 minutes and all foods and beverages must be approved by the Principal in advance. Parents are not allowed to attend except as helpers, and cannot bring any food; only the teacher can do that.
Did I ever mention that I work in a high-stress environment, by the way?

People would bring in cupcakes for birthdays, parents would come and help out, our parties would last half a day or more! I guess we're a very festive school district. Our teachers are given great parties--we frequently bring in pinatas!! This year, my English teacher tried to bust it open, and he hit the wall with his metal pole and made a dent instead. ;D Then he ate a bowl of Crunch Berry cereal because he said it was his favorite, and he hadn't had it in a long time.

And, goodness, they don't even allow people to send you flowers and things like that for your birthdays? You have some really strict, stick-in-the-mud type people in charge there. Control freaks, it sounds like. Personally, I think you teachers deserve to be recognized, rewarded, and commended for the type of work you do. The least they could do is celebrate your birthdays. . .good grief.

Jesus Christ. A cookie and a PENCIL?! Are they PURPOSEFULLY trying to take the mick? We sometimes throw parties for students depending if we can be bothered, but just because we don't often doesn't mean we're not allowed...I think. But...that's just weird. Have whoever made those rules ever heard of letting their hair down? Saying that, they probably don't have any hair at all...

Honestly! It sounds like the rule-makers missed out on celebrations when they were little and now they want to keep everyone they're in charge of from having any fun.
