I don't want to share a screenshot, but the chat's been a total mess for two days because of some crazy moms. I'm barely holding back from replying. I don't support them, and I'm not chipping in for a group bouquet of 13 flowers. I can afford to buy a bouquet myself.

And what do they want from you?

Tanya They don't want anything from me.
They only suggested chipping in.
They were deciding on colors and writing scandalous nonsense.

Tanya What's bothering you then, if nobody is asking anything of you?

So you hold it in there, and then let it all out here?😁😁

Tanya I can't stand reading nonsense and foolishness; I want to put those 'smart alecks' in their place.

Anichka Good job!

We had one person complain that they were asked to buy a geography atlas.

What does the situation have to do with it? 🤦 If they bring you 30 bouquets right now, what will you do with them? It's more practical for everyone to chip in and give one awesome bouquet.

Anichka It's not a big amount, though. Why stick to principles?
Translated automatically. Show original
Anichka
Anichka Why bother? It's not like the bouquet is appropriate. It'll last a week and then get tossed. Maybe for graduation, but not for the first day of school. Especially since she's such a drama queen.

Vishenka Not brooms, but bouquets. To put in vases

Anichka It's not about the amount, I just feel the gift is inappropriate. Plus, there's money in the envelope. I decided on a bouquet for 4k, an autumnal one.

Vishenka Do you have 30 vases at home and enough surfaces? I'm a teacher, but not in a public school, and I've received a maximum of 5 bouquets at once. I was grateful, of course, but arranging them was difficult, so I put them into two out of the five. I can't imagine how to "use up" 30. Any teacher will tell you – one bouquet from the whole class is better.

It's not about whether you can, but whether the teacher can haul home 25 bouquets and arrange them. Does she even need that? Or does she just not care?

If most people decide to chip in, then we should chip in. Do you think others can't afford a bouquet? It's just that these 30 bouquets will end up in the trash, even on the first day.
Translated automatically. Show original
Mika
Vishenka No, definitely not 30.
You can combine bouquets into vases.

Mika
Natalya I've never seen it in the trash, you have a wrong perspective.
Some people can't, some people are principled.

Olesya You don't have to bring everything home. You can decorate your own office and take the rest home.
She's driving, so giving you a ride isn't a problem.

And that's how nothing gets done because 50% just stay silent even if they don't like something. I say everything if I don't like it, but usually that's not enough, you need other people, and they stay silent.

Why all the fuss? We've been doing this for years. We just put out a call in the chat, and almost everyone agrees. A couple of people don't contribute money, and that's fine… We get one nice bouquet from the class and a box of chocolates, and that's it! 20-25 bouquets seem like a hassle to manage, in my opinion…

I don't see anything wrong with a class bouquet, I'm always "FOR" it.
This year, it actually happened that the class bouquet was already bought, and I bought one for my daughter too (I thought there wouldn't be a combined one).

Natalya Who says everyone has to chip in just because most people do?? Most people chip in for us too, but my daughter wants to give a personal bouquet. Just from her.

Natalya Mine too. He chooses and gives them himself. Once a year is fine

Olesya So, 2-3 bouquets are at home, the rest are in the classroom, often in a bucket because there aren't enough vases. My mom worked as a teacher for 30 years.

Natalya When the school collects money for a gift, everyone chips in. You can contribute whatever you want on your own.

Natasha
Natalya Which law is this written in?? What's the penalty for breaking this law?

Natalya
Natalya Which laws are you referring to?
Translated automatically. Show original
Natasha
Natalya because when they chip in for a gift at school, everyone chips in.
I got curious about what law regulates this and what will happen to me now for not chipping in 🤯Will I be fined or jailed now?

Natalya
Natalya There's always a couple of stingy ones in every class 🙌🏻

Natasha
Natalya And what does greed have to do with it? 😂 The child will give a gift personally, one they chose themselves, not from the parent committee. I fully supported my child's choice, and we didn't like the gift from the committee. I don't think it's necessary to spend my own money just to please the committee. Whoever wanted to chip in bought a group gift (by the way, there are only 13 of them out of 28), the rest are giving personal gifts.
And please answer my questions. What law regulates your words?

Olesya Yes, yes, I remember buckets too

Olesya Well, because there's nowhere special to put it, and the kids would break the vase anyway

Olesya Back then, nobody bought bouquets either. We'd pick some flowers from home and go.
