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.
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 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.
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.
