Teacher Mocks Poor Girl Who Has No Money to Pay for School Party, Dad Learns about It — Story of the Day
A school teacher looks down upon a girl and humiliates her because she’s unable to pay for the school party. The tables are turned when the girl’s father learns about it and confronts the teacher.
“I’ll announce the names of the students who have paid their fees. Those who haven’t yet can do so now. Is that okay?” Cassey’s teacher, Mr. Morris, called out, pulling a list from his attendance book. Cassey knew she wasn’t on the list.
“Okay, so I see that all of the students except Cassey Turner have paid!” What’s your excuse this time, Miss Turner? “Are you not interested in attending the school party?” He looked at her incredulously, delighted at the chance to mock the poor girl in front of others.

Cassey was no longer interested in playing with toys. The girl sat for a long time on her room’s windowsill, waiting for her father to return home. Her mother had told her that her father was on a business trip and would return soon, but it had been several months, and he wasn’t home yet.
