Why do apples represent teachers?

Question

you always give teachers apples...why not oranges?

Answer 1

simple the teachers of the early days in the midwest and the west were partly paid by a free room in a house and the people around gave the teacher pigs and chickens and fruits and vegitables and canned fooods in jars along with their small salary and people added free services like the town doctor would treat them for free it was common for people to not exchange money but goods or services thats called barter so an apple to a teacher was a part of a promise of support from the childrens parents and a way to help the teacher eat that day,,, ive dug ginsing roots and dryed bark for medicines and traded them at a traders in the mountains of N,C

Answer 2

In the olden days when candy was too expensive to afford students bought apples to give to teachers. Apples are a very sweet, popular, and cheap fruit to make. Oranges aren't given because they need certain enviornments to grow, where apples can grow anywhere.

Answer 3

Well ever hear of the apple and pear shape bodies...well most teachers are apple shaped meaning they carry their fat around their waist so.......thats why you give them apples...and soon enough the teachers will get the hint, eat the apples and loose weight from the fiber and water content!! FUJI apples are the best!!

Answer 4

Forget about finding a real explanation, the truth is that an apple is one easy-to-eat-fruit. It's colorful, small and delicious. Imagine kids taking watermelons to school, or pealing oranges and getting juice all over their hands... Definitely apples are cheap and easy.
