Case: A hundred dollar bill
You have just completed a meeting with parents to discuss preparing the students for the upcoming state test. 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)?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
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.

Comments: $100 is just too much money to accept from a parent. It almost seems like some kind of bribe. I would not accept the money and I agree with taking the situation to administration if needed. |

Comments: It is indeed unethical to take the money and I would let the principal know what took place. Generally, we do not meet with parents alone. |

Comments: I agree with this solution because it states that taking the money would be unethical. I also agree that if the parent refuses to take the money back I would take it to my principal and see what he or she would advise me to do next. |

Comments: I agree one-hundred percent on how this situation should be handled. It is important for the principal to know what is going on so that way they can help you with the next steps. Always make sure like you said that you tell the parent that you are not allowed to take money because it is unethical. |
