‘No photos for [you]’: Penny-pinching school admin tries to take credit for a field trip they refused to fund, teacher that paid €360 claps back

Teachers are expected to cover all kinds of expenses for their classrooms. Whether they're buying glitter glue, construction paper, and pipe cleaners, or if they simply want a new basketball to teach the kiddos a new sport in P.E., it can get pricey for teachers to try and pay for their curricular activities out of pocket. However, when your principal is the first person to deny funding for any extra projects but also the first in line to reap the benefits, teachers can get a little fiery in the teacher's lounge. 

In our next story, an unfunded teacher found that the best kind of revenge against a penny-pinching admin was to give them a taste of their own medicine. After paying €360 out of pocket to pay for the kiddo's end-of-the-year school field trip to the zoo, this teacher was absolutely flummoxed when the admin had the audacity to ask for photos of the event for promotional purposes after the fact. 

Scroll for all the details of how a classroom funds refusal turned quickly into malicious compliance after a passive-aggressive email.
