I never understood the worship some parents had for these assholes. Especially teacher gifts. I am in my 40s and saw all my friends trying to be the best parent giving shit. I told them they were idiots and most of their kids went nowhere and are still living at home smoking weed all day. Glad I waited to have a kid late in life. I'm homeschooling.

Parent's do this shit because most of them only had kids to fit in or cave to family/spouse pressure. Then they use them as social markers; so they all must be 'smart' and do well in school. Bribing and ass-kissing teachers makes them feel as though they are parenting. Interacting with them also helps them heal from the staggering realization that they themselves were not gifted, but they blamed the school and teachers when they were growing up.
