Teacher Appreciation Week: A Humorous Look at the Gifts (or Lack Thereof) In a recent TikTok video, teacher Maggie Perkins (@itsmaggieperkins) shared a humorous take on Teacher Appreciation Week gifts, highlighting the often-disappointing reality for educators. The video, which has garnered significant attention, showcases examples of gifts that were far from ideal, such as leftover donuts from prom and a day-old pretzel. "Inedible food is not a gift," Perkins states in the video, highlighting the disconnect between the intention and the outcome.
