Should Children Tip Their Teachers?

Mal Fletcher on BBC Radio


A new study has revealed that 1 in 5 Brits will not tip for anything, anywhere. Only 1 in 8 say they will always leave a tip in a restaurant.

Is this a reflection of a healthy attitude to service in society?

Meanwhile, many teachers receive "tips" in the form of gifts from children (or parents) at the end of the year. Is this healthy, or does it encourage in children a skewed sense of what gratitude is?

Mal Fletcher answers these and other questions in this interview with BBC Radio's Mike Parr.
