Why do you give apples to teachers for gifts? |
[Edit] |
[Edit] 
To become the teachers pet
Answer (buxtonp)
The practice, stemmed from grammar school in which young children are taught the letters of the alphabet. "A" is for Apple, "B" is for Boy, etc.
Since students wanted an "A" letter grade, they would give their teachers Apples.
This practise was only followed by the brown noser, or the teacher's pet
