Why do children give apples to teachers (both)
Does it still occur?
It harkens back to the 16th century when teachers wages were so low, students families would give apples so that was one less thing they needed to pay for.
Or maybe it is because apples are supposedly the fruit of knowledge so an apt "gift"
Or maybe apples were a bribe - to engender the teachers good graces
