'I said no and ended the call': School principal demands mom work for free to help with school play, she refuses, principal blames her for production failure

It comes to no one's surprise that schools care much more about the sports programs than the arts. For some reason, it is assumed that the arts are not as important for kids' education as doing sports, and so the art programs get much less budget and attention in an unfortunate amount of schools.

The situation is no different in the school from this Reddit story, and the main problem might be with the school's principal. OP (original poster) is a mom who got a call from a school principal asking her to help with the school's production of Grease. The mom, whose kid doesn't even go to that school anymore, told the principal her rates and was surprised to learn that the principal was expecting her to do it for free, as a donation to the school.
