Recently, a post appeared on social networks about a teacher's text message to parents on the occasion of November 20, attracting nearly 400,000 views.
Ms. V., the author of the article, said that this is the homeroom teacher of the 7th grade class her child is studying in, currently working at a school in Quang Ninh province.

In the text message sent at 8:26 p.m. on November 18, Ms. V's child's teacher sent to the students the following message: "Notice to parents, this year, parents are not allowed to let their children hold envelopes to send to the homeroom teacher of class 7B, because their families are still in difficult circumstances. If any parent intentionally lets their child send envelopes to the homeroom teacher, the teacher will punish the student's conduct at the end of the year. Sincerely thank you, dear parents."
Receiving this message, Ms. V. could not help but be surprised and admire the teacher's integrity.
“November 20 is a day to honor teachers, so I also want to express my gratitude to the “ferrymen”. That is the reason I am sharing this message with the online community,” she said.
Ms. V. said that on November 20th last year, this homeroom teacher returned the envelopes that parents sent. On this year's holiday, the teacher was careful to proactively send a text message to remind parents in advance.
Below the article that Ms. V. posted, many parents also expressed their emotion at the actions of the above teacher.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Thanh, 42 years old, has a child studying in grade 7 at a secondary school in Hoang Liet ward, Hanoi , said that on the occasion of November 20, she and her child always prepare small gifts to express gratitude to their teachers. In recent years, she often gives symbolic gifts and envelopes to teachers as a thank you and so that teachers can proactively shop according to their needs.
According to Ms. Thanh, this is suitable for both the giver and the receiver. She herself feels comfortable and happy when she can send her thanks, a little bit of her heart to her child's teachers.
However, recently, she was extremely surprised when her daughter brought an envelope back to her mother. Her daughter's literature teacher received the greeting card but refused to accept the envelope and asked her daughter to return it to her mother with a thank you note to her parents. Ms. Thanh was both surprised and somewhat touched when she received the envelope she had prepared.
“For me, students and parents giving gifts to teachers on Teachers’ Day is a beautiful thing, showing affection and connection between teachers and students, families and teachers. I am happy to give gifts to teachers and also respect whether teachers accept or not,” said Ms. Thanh.
Ms. Thanh thinks that the teacher's refusal to accept the gift may be her life perspective, her choice, and she respects that.
“I appreciate teachers accepting gifts from parents and students because this is one of the ways to express affection. As long as the gift does not carry pressure or expectation for both the giver and the receiver,” she shared.
In recent days, many parents have shared the case of teachers asking to return envelopes. For many teachers, not accepting gifts from parents stems from not wanting their holidays to become a burden to many families. Some people refuse gifts because they want to keep themselves comfortable and peaceful with the job they choose or because of personal principles.
