My job involves going into homes and sometimes schools.
Today the yr11's had to pay a pound to go to the show taking part in the afternoon (i believe its a talent show, some awards etc)
One lad in the group said he couldn't pay a pound. The teacher kept asking him why, and said have you got a pound?
He said yes, but it's for his dinner tomorrow.
Now it's pretty obvious the lad doesnt look well off, from his clothing etc.
Yet the teacher carried on in front of the whole class saying 'why cant you spare a pound. It's JUST a pound, stop being selfish' and kids in the class started joining in.
The boy looked so uncomfortable, it was heartbreaking. In the end he gave the pound.
Afterwards I had a word with the teacher, who still had the view that the boy was being selfish.
Was I unreasonable, and should I report it? Or would I be being silly?
