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!) 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.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original No Comments: i agree with not accepting the money but give a suggested list of materials the student could use.

I would give the parent a suggestion as to what to purchase.

I would make sure that the parent use that money to hire a tutor. This is again the code of ethics so reminding the parent about the policy is important.

I just think that as the teacher you should just tell the parent you are not allowed to accept anything like this and if they keep on insisting then let the principal know so they can help you or tell you what the next step should be.
