What kind of flowers should I buy for my teacher?

Last week sometime, my history teacher's mother died because of diabetic reasons, and she was only 47. She hasn't been at school for the past week and had to fly out to CA (we live in WI) for her mother's funeral. She lost her best friend last week as well. Today she was finally back in class and was in tears when she talked to us about what happened. Her eyes look so empty. She's going through an extremely hard time...and I know there's not much I can do to make it better....but I thought about buying her some flowers. What kind do you think I should buy? Or do you have any other ideas on what I should get her? I know no amount of money could make up for her loss...but I just feel so bad for her.

You are very sweet for being so caring. I have an idea that my kids teacher's just loved. Pass around a note to all the kids in your class, say Monday. Tell them all to bring in one flower on Wednesday, and have a pretty vase ready for all the single flowers from all the kids. That way, everyone can contribute and not spend alot of money. but, the teachers loved the variety, and the thought, since alot of the flowers came from the kids own yard! good luck, hope she feels better. Depending on the calss size, you might need two vases!
Reply:a book or flowers
Reply:The first idea is the best. Except I would maybe bring a couple extra flowers just in case some students forget or can't afford it!
Reply:flowers : Tulips are nice or yellow roses.





Book : Inspirational stories or a Journal for her to write in.
Reply:You are so caring and nice to you teacher. It should be like that. You can collect signatures of your class mates on a note showing your sympathies to your teacher and send it to her alongwith some white and purple flowers. You can also visit her house with your parents and convey your condolences. There is nothing more you can do at this juncture. All the best.
Reply:Shame on your teacher for bringing her personal issues into the classroom. Clearly her attempt to make you feel sorry for her has worked.


DO NOT give her any flowers. Basically, the teacher-student relationship is adversarial and giving her gifts is a sign of weakness which she would exploit in the future.


Be strong and don't let her use you.
Reply:Daisies!
Reply:It is so nice to see you care for your teacher...Poor woman!


She must be feeling so bad right now...!





I think the first post gives the best idea, sweetie. Everyone can contribute with a flower and let your teacher know they care....Very thoughtful. A nice card with a beautiful message and everyone's names is a kind gesture, too.


Good luck!
Reply:different color roses mean different things, and i think the only one that doesn't send of something like "i love you" is yellow, which is supposed to mean you care...

these are really cool and pretty i wish someone would send me these.
Reply:It might be a good idea to get a card and have as many students as possible sign it. Flowers would also be nice, and if you ask the other students to chip in as well, it wouldn't cost much, and then it'll be from the whole class, so she knows that all of you care about her.
Reply:at the end of class after everybody gone give her a hug and say im sorry to hear about your loss.thats it.no flowers
