On October 13, many online members excitedly shared a post from an account named MM. Accordingly, Ms. M has a 2-year-old daughter who is studying at a preschool. At the beginning of the school year, the class’s parent association created a chat group and mentioned the issue of collecting a fund of 400,000 VND/person.
According to Ms. MM, ‘this is an external fee, which parents themselves propose to collect’. In the chat group, Ms. MM affirmed that she would not contribute 400,000 VND to the fund because she thought this amount was unreasonable.
Messages from Ms. MM and parents in the chat group
‘Whoever wants to thank the teacher should go separately. Each person has their own opinion on how they want to go, but how can they go together?… The school organizes a birthday party once a month for the children, everyone. If you contribute, then give your opinion, but I’ll just report that I don’t contribute.’ – Ms. MM expressed her opinion in the parent chat group.
At this time, a parent spoke up: ‘… it’s a collective problem for my children. Her children study in a group, everyone wants the best for them, but she is alone. Is it true that now all parents who organize events for their children and teachers have cards written ‘Class parents, except mother B (MM’s daughter’s name)?’.
Another parent said: ‘So if parents use the funds to organize a party for their children, let B sit in a corner.’ Right after that, it was this parent who convinced Ms. MM to think again: ‘We should put our children first, we should do what is best for our children. When I am in a group, I take the group as the core, it’s the same everywhere. The school also has very clear regulations. The Parents’ Association complies with the law. The school also clearly states its views. Parents who disagree with their views can make other choices and send their children to another school.
Ms. MM still affirmed that she did not pay the fund, and at the same time asked: ‘If I don’t pay the fund now, do I have to drop out of class or change schools?’. Immediately followed by the response: ‘If you know how to think, you should be like that, Mother B’.
Annoyed, Ms. MM cursed in the group chat. A parent then asked for Ms. MM’s phone number to invite the police to work.
Ms. MM disagreed about collecting the 400,000 VND fund from the parent association
As soon as she shared it, MM’s post quickly received a lot of attention. In the comments section, many people said that collecting funds for children’s activities could be considered and agreed upon. However, it is not advisable for both sides to behave impatiently in this situation. In particular, the parent who ‘suggested’ to Ms. MM that if she did not pay the fund, consider transferring her child to another school is receiving backlash.
According to Ms. MM’s sister, she went to see the principal and was informed ‘The parent fund was established for the children and the school only agrees to spend to serve the children’. ‘There will be no problem that just because you don’t pay the fund, your child will have to change classes or schools. And the principal also said this fund is not reasonable’ – Ms. MM said.
Currently, Ms. MM’s article is still receiving many mixed comments. ‘I will not delete the post. Sorry to the parents who are not interested in this story. Because I was upset, I said bad things. But when it comes to children, isolating children, those people deserve to receive those words!’.
