教师是否应该接受学生的礼物?

Many parents have to think hard about what to give their children's teachers on Teachers' Day, which falls on Sept 10 this year. Should teachers accept these gifts from parents or their students? Share your views with us.

9月10日“教师节”马上就要到了，许多家长正在为孩子向老师送什么礼物而头疼。那么，教师是否应该接受学生或家长的礼物呢？下面是一些观点。

Ave (UK): I find the concept of Teachers' Day a bit odd actually. It is not something that happens in the UK as far as I know. In the UK, acceptance of gifts by teachers is strictly prohibited, especially gifts that have been purchased or giving cash as gift.

Ave(英国)：实际上，我认为教师节接受学生礼物有些怪异。据我所知，在英国是没有出现过的情况，教师接受礼物是被严格限制的，特别是花钱购买的礼物或给现金作为礼物。

Obviously, if a child bestows a gift that they have made or the proverbial 'apple for teacher' then that is different, that can be considered an act of endearment. To refuse in this case would probably do more harm than good.

显然，如果孩子送给老师的礼物是亲手制作的，或是众所周知的“送老师苹果”就不同了，这会被理解为对老师敬爱的表现。这种情况下拒绝礼物可能会弊大于利。

PatrickInBeijing (US): Instead of parents buying gifts, why not encourage children to make small gifts, drawing or paper flowers, or even a simple card? A small gift of love should be the greatest gift of all to a good teacher. I got one, and nothing could make me happier.
