A parent of one of your lower performing students hands you a hundred dollar bill and insists you keep it to offset any expenses you might incur. What would be the right action(s)?                 Submit a Possible Solution Please read response(s) below (if any) before posting your solution.                 Solution 1 Posted October 16, 2014 10:25 pm yseruW Reps: 201 To take the money would be unethical. You could simply insist that the parent take the money back. If the parent is unwilling to take the money back, I would take it to my principal, let him know what happened and to wait to be advised on the next steps.

If the parent remains persistent the best thing to do is give the money to the principal and let them decide how to move forward.   Posted on: October 19, 2014 5:08 pm Danielle Brock Reps: 100 I found this study to be very interesting.   Posted on: March 1, 2015 10:44 pm Kathy Allen Reps: 200 This is a good idea!   Posted on: February 23, 2018 9:45 pm Add a Comment                 Solution 2 Posted October 19, 2014 4:07 pm anuLyH Reps: 175 It is against the code of ethics to accept money from students or parents. I would tell the parent that what ever they deem is necessary for the students then feel free to purchase but I am not allowed to accept monetary gifts from parents.

As a teacher you have ethical principles to abide by and taking money for work is unethical.

Ask the parent if there's any resources that is within the teacher's power in order for the student to be prepped for the upcoming state test.

The parent should know that this kind of bribery is not acceptable, but as a teacher you should politely decline the money and explain to the parents that if the student studies and works hard that they will do well.

If the parent does not allow it then give it to the principal of the school you are working at your site and make sure the parent receives it back.
