Here is an article about crazy kids on the bus. I guess it is coming out because of the upcoming school season. I however have found no connection between gift giving children and good behavior. I get some rather cool gifts from some of my worst behaved kids and no gifts from some of my best behaved.
I will admit for me, the best gifts I get are in the form of home baking. LOL…
Here is an article from Des Moines, Iowa that tries to correlate gift giving with bad behavior. Here is the PDF should the site change.
