  Case: Taking Money
Ms. White is a brand new teacher who is teaching first grade this year. At her Open House, a parent gave her a $100 bill and he said it can be used for anything she needs. Is it wrong for her to accept the money? Should she report it to administration or ask their opinion?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Ms. White should thank the parent for their help, but tell them that you are cannot accept the money. She should tell them instead about the ways they can help in the classroom, such as chaperoning on a field trip.

Comments: If I were in this situation, I would do something along those lines. I wouldn't accept the money nor would I report it to administration. Suggesting that they volunteer is a good way to show that you still would like their help.

Comments: I agree with you in this case. A teacher should never accept money from one of their students parents. She needs to respectfully not accept the money, and explain why she cannot. The teacher also providing ways that the parent can help in the classroom is a good suggestion.
