What's the reason being cited for not giving the teacher a share? I can think of a couple, but I'm wondering what the PTO president says. One possibility is that all classrooms must be treated equally. Someone recently posted that their school has this type of setup -- the rule is that all classrooms must be treated equally -- no donations to one class or grade without a similar donation to the others. Of course, if this is the case the PTO should have communicated that before the donation was made. Another possibility is that this is a straight miscommunication. It might be worth talking to the parent and the president again to see where the problem lies. Don't be accusatory -- just go on a fact-finding mission so you can look for a compromise.
