送老师一个苹果
An Apple for the Teacher来源：考试大
 
　　在公共教育的早期，学校老师没有工资，人们通常用实无物或替老师干活的形式支付学费。现在，给老师送苹果被理解为是一种友好的或带有行贿成分的行为。这一做法有可能源于学生想要缓和老师的心情，以增加自己取得更好成绩的机会这一愿望。这一习俗现在已演变为家长为改善教室环境、增加教室设施捐钱，或赠送食物或糖果。来源：考试大

　　In the early days of public education, schoolteachers were not salaried and would often be paid in goods and services. Nowadays, presenting an apple to the teacher is interpreted as a gesture of goodwill or as an element of bribery.The practice probably arose from the student's desire to soften the teacher's disposition, thus increasing the student's chances for a more favorable grade.This custom has now given way to parental contributions of money, food, or candy for the enhancement and enrichment of the basic classroom program.
