Father Refuses To Pay for Pizza Party and Teacher Snaps Back. Who’s Wrong?

A father, we’ll call him John, recently shared his story of refusing to send money to the class for his child’s pizza party and the teacher’s reaction to the refusal.

John explained that his child’s class was having a pizza party, and the teacher had been requesting $5 from the parents for the last week to help pay for it.

A Sad Situation

John’s daughter suffers from disordered eating due to mental health issues and is currently in therapy.

A Sad Situation

She doesn’t like pizza but will eat breadsticks sometimes, but only a specific kind from a specific restaurant.

A Sad Situation

The teacher is not ordering from that restaurant, and John said he would not have asked the teacher to have them make it the exact way his daughter likes it.

The Masses Weigh In

The commenters were definitely on John’s side in this scenario. One mother suggested John talk to the school and ask why contributing money to a special event wasn’t optional.

“You never know what other parents are being bullied into paying this money as well,” she added.

Another chimed in and pointed out that other parents might be intimidated into paying, even if their kids don’t want to participate or can’t afford it.
