AIBU to think a twin parent should contribute per child?

[TheMumEdit]

Interested in how other people approach. We do a group collection for the school teacher every year. Another mum and I tend to take turns. Offered out to the rest but oddly no one else wants a turn! . We put in £10 each which is what we all agreed. . Two mums in the year have twins. One mum pays per child (so £20) and the other pays £10 total so £5 per child.

I’ve never really thought about it but the other mum that’s turn it is think we should say we’ve only received one contribution. The more I think about it the more I thinks she a bit cheeky but after 6 years don’t see the point in saying now. This mum is quite well off (one a Dr and one equal in terms of salary) whilst most other parents are on much lower salaries.

AIBU: don’t say
YANBU Say gives more money 😉

Tough area or not teachers are being paid to do their job no need for whip rounds at all

I can never fathom why the BOM don’t put a policy in place to ban these completely.

Gifts to company/corporation employees are frequently not allowed.

Thats normally because of concerns over bribery and corruption. Its a bit hard to bribe a primary teacher when you are moving on.

Our primary have tried to curtail the Christmas gifts by suggesting a donation is given to the local food bank instead of teachers.

Yes I think we are all aware of why. My point is it’s common practice for employees not to receive gifts.
Teachers are employees.
Asking people to donate to a charity is a good idea and the teachers receiving these gifts could easily give the money to a charity and send out an email saying which charity. But the teachers will never do this either so it needs to be completely banned.
