Scottish council gets big brother on X'mas, bans gifts to teachers

  • 6 years ago
FALKIRK, SCOTLAND — Kids in Falkirk, Scotland have been forbidden from gifting their teachers Xmas presents.

Falkirk Council and the British tax authority equate gifts to teachers as bribes, meaning kids can no longer graft their way into good Xmas grades.

One school asked parents via letter to instead give teachers a card and not gifts.

The ban on Xmas gifts to teachers has angered parents, with some saying the practice was harmless.
