I talked with the Spanish teacher and she did indeed take the $10, so my 12 year old was telling the truth. I went to the princapal and she, the Spanish teacher, my daughter, my daughter's guidance counsler and I sat down and talked about the issue. The princapal said the Spanish teacher should have never taken the money since it was my daughter's and I was already going to pay. The guidance counsler agreed. The teacher said she'd get back the $10 to my daughter and I gave her the $5 for the cost of the workbook.

Well two days after the confrence, my daughter was scheduled to have the teacher again, that's when she was supposed to recieve the $10. I got a call from the teacher. She (c)

Answer 1

You say the teacher SPENT the money...knowing full well it wasn't hers?  Tell the teacher you will be filing charges for theft.

Answer 2

Do whatever you can to get the money back.  It's rightfully yours and you CAN get it back with force if you must.  It IS a big deal and this should not go unresolved.  Try contacting the principle again.  If that fails, go straight to the board of ed and fight for what you believe in.  This is not right and I wish you the best of luck!

Answer 3

OMG the board?  Over $10?

Seriously?

I think this has more to do with you being hurt & over stressed than $10.

I mean I'm a single mother and I'm broke and pay day is 11 days away.. but I'm not fighting over ten bucks.

Just continue to fight for what's right...

But don't OVER exagerate.. they wont take you seriously, they'll just see you as irrate and irrational & label you.. I'd hate for that to happen, your daugther still has to go to this school afterwards..

So lets just keep our composure..

COntinue to press the principal cause it's only right you get reimbursed.. & if I were you, I'd request NO payment AT ALL for all the trouble you've gone through.

But dont take it to the board.. that's a bit much.

Let it look like the teacher is the NUT not you.

Answer 4

Taking money from a kid is bad.so i would get the board of ed. because the teacher does no5t have a right to spend your childs money. If it is not returned the next time then get everyone you can. to talk about it. Hope this helps

Answer 5

Yes! Call the board this is ridiculous! So altogether this lady has taken $15.00 and refuses to pay you the $10.00 back? I would try one more time talking to the Principal and if that doesn't work then go to the board. She cannot get away with this. So what if she spent that actual $10.00 bill. She needs to give you another one. Geez! People irritate me!

Answer 6

Go to the board of education if you can't get the principal!  But leave a message at least twice a day for the principal.  Make it very detailed.  I really mean EVERY DAY.  It is completely out of line for this teacher to say your daughter will not get her money back.  And if you are able to set up a meeting with the principal, demand that the money be given back on the spot since you obviously can't trust her to keep her word.  Besides, will she never ever have ten dollars again?  Ask her when payday is and tell her you'll be expecting the money back then.  She gets paid at least once a month so she'll have ten dollars again soon.  I know teachers don't get paid much but she can spare ten dollars to replace what she STOLE from a child.  And how does she think she had a right to spend money that wasn't hers to begin with?

MAKE A BIG DEAL ABOUT IT.  GO TO THE BOARD OF ED.  CALL THE NEWS STATIONS.  MAKE A SCENE.  

It may be only ten dollars but it's really about a teacher who thinks she can get away with stealing from a child.  make sure to tell the principal (leave it in a message if you have to) that you are going to make it a public ordeal if it doesn't get resolved and you better believe it'll get handle immediately.  Give her a timeline too and follow through.

That teacher should be reprimanded harshly.
