Mirror. A different parent from the school, who also happens to be a teacher, was unsure how to feel about this and has taken to Mumsnet to speak to others about whether or not this is "cheeky".

In her post, she explained: "At my DC's school I have a friend whose child is in year one (different classes to my kids). She's told me that there's been a bit of controversy and complaints because one parent is very good friends with the teacher and took the lead in organising a class teacher present."She asked the teacher what she wanted if she got a tenner off each parent (so £150).

Teacher picked out a pair of designer shoes. And the friend asked all the parents for a tenner."A couple of parents have complained and the designer shoe plan had to.
