Today, March 7, from flowers to trips, gift competition for teachers and

For years, March 7 has turned into a stressful day for parents, thinking about what gifts to give teachers to ensure that their children do not feel left out of the ecosystem. Sometimes even as a gift contest.

Teachers do a wonderful job, so it's natural that parents want to reward their hard work with a gift, but the line between modesty and competition among children for the most valuable gift is not found.

To give or not to give gifts is a decision that puts a lot of pressure on parents whose children are in school. It even starts in the preschool system, with nurseries and kindergartens.

In an observation of the market, in addition to traditional gifts such as flowers, jewelry and accessories, other forms of gifts have started. The development of technology has brought a variety of tools for giving and receiving gifts, such as electronic coupons, shopping cards, etc.

In various conversations with parents in several schools in the capital, it is reported that some parents have also donated money to teachers. Other arrangements include trips abroad for teachers.

The range of other gifts considered are: books or coupons for the purchase of books in the value of 2000-3000 ALL; jewelry starting from 2,500 to gold accessories reaching 20,000 ALL; bouquets of 1500-2000 ALL, often accompanied by an envelope with monetary values; the form of collecting money so that the gift can be bought together or the donation of the final value of the money, where the amount contributed by each student was 1000-1500; coupons in certain stores, both accessories and home furnishings; travel, mainly within the country, to nearby destinations with hotel fees, etc.

The commercialization of "gift giving" has become such a big social problem that some parents 'complain' that the true value of the day has been lost, that a modest gift in appreciation of teaching dedication no longer exists.

According to them, there are figures of teachers who are modest and untouched by this phenomenon, but it is the social pressures so that the child does not remain outside the current that encourages them to be part of this commercialization.

At the end of the day, the ones who 'benefit' are the businesses.

There are sponsored marketing campaigns on social networks a few weeks before March 7, as a reminder for parents not to forget this day. These online businesses start from accessories, clothing, books or personalized or handmade gifts.

The latter have higher values ​​due to the authenticity that characterizes them, starting from personalized candles 1500 Lek to wood carvings 6000 Lek.

Experts in the field of social behavior raise the question: If even teachers are losing the line between honest assessment and bribery, who will be able to teach it to children?
