All I can say is this is an issue of serious inferiority complex.
How come you can afford to send you kid to school where you have rich people?
I would have praised you for being advarage but working hard to pay to send your child to an upper class school you cannot afford, but returning that gift shows you ward is out of place there. If it's your child's birthday must you reciprocate with something as valuable as ps4?
Isn't it every parents wish for their wards to mix with such people that are rich and can pull them up? Connected people?
So eg a class mate of my child decided to fly them to desneyland in France in the father's private jet, I will then say no, that I sent the child to school to read book and that I will not be able to reciprocate!
How laughable.
Oga you fall hand!

Please schools should stop celebrating birthdays in school, please, biko. I use God beg you.

I sent my child to school to learn and not to celebrate birthdays, I came back from work one day and saw this play station 4 in a carton, I asked them who own. they said my daughter classmates celebrated her birthday and shared these gift to them.h

I quickly ask them to reparkage the gift and take it back to the school, before I return from work the next day.

MY REASON IS THIS: all fingers are not equal, when it is my daughter's birthday they would be expecting a gift of equal amount.

The parent may be rich and I am not, they give my child what I can't afford for her which is a recipe for greed. she should be contented with what I can afford,

These her young mind should be moulded early to adapt to reality.

These private schools are encouraging these evil act, it may affect the child tommorow.

You said it , all fingers are not equal. You are in a society that has people of different backgrounds. But you mix,
Your child is is also in a mini society with people of different backgrounds . If you want you or your child to live in a society where all fingers are equal withdraw your child from the school and create your parellel universe where you can personally determine how your child mix with people. You have suceeded in opening a door in your childs mind that she is inferior., Whether u like it or not.
I don't blame any parent for showing love to his or her kids during their birthdays, it's just like otedola kids with ferrari. If I get I go do.
Congrats inferiority has been downloaded.. keep it up

I hope the op is practising the same "fingers are not equal" theory on himself. In case someone wants to help his life with a nice gift, like a car or house, he should decline for fear of reciprocation.

I like people like you that collect anything, it will be nice to know you more.

Gift infact can make you indebted to someone forever that is gifts are used to manipulate people, people like you will be easy to fall victim.

GOD PUNISH POVERTY

As i have understand, POOR PEOPLE HAVE NO PRINCIPLE.

You are getting it wrong, schools authority dont accept birthday gifts from parents or celebrant... My school HR dept then,, receive the gifts in cash and purchase the items for us , no celebrant or parents is allowed to bring things on their own to school premises. The school authority will not allow such. It is an agreement by the PTA and management, HR always taste the food at the cafeteria even before break time that students would be allow to go eat.... if u want to celebrate with fellow school or class mates, the school appropriate authority will be in charge and should it be use as a trap, the HR who r meant to purchase things themselves would be held... There are rules to it... I know where u are going , that's why most parents would rather invites well wishers ... Its not about the gift ... Many would had have such at home , and will only give it out ... personally , I would only share birthday gifts to people that I know and invited to my child's birthday.

Was asked to attend my niece PTA meeting sometimes ago and during the discussion, this birthday issue came up.

I pointed out all my observations to the parents and school authority which I had noticed a long time ago.

1. Some teachers gives priority and respect to some parents due to some parents bringing nice and lots of birthday celebration items for their kids to the school. Mostly handling it over to the child teacher in doing the sharing. Parents who can't afford to do this are seen as paupers and treated anyhow. Seen first hand of such treatment in a school. No understanding of all fingers are not equal.

2. Kids don't understand if a parent has the fund to foot the school birthday celebration. They want to have it done at all cost. You don't do it for them, they either get sick or don't go to school that day or starts behaving irrationally.

Most parents and school authority attested to this facts. Infact, the school authority said a female teacher was recently sacked due to her looking down on a parent because of the parent not celebrating her child birthday in school. Very honest and wonderful proprietor.

At the end of the day, the school and parents concluded on canceling any birthday celebration in school.

The teacher should just ask the whole class to sing for the celebrant.
The celebrant should come with 3 different stories book which will be announced on the assembly ground. The story book should be kept in the school Library, if any pupil is interested in reading it, he or she can always go to the school Library to read it.

They shouldn't celebrate birthdays if that is the case. No point telling imaginery stories from book

This reminds me of a time we were doing youth house fellowship. Normally, we will go to a member's house, share some words of exaltation, pray, give offerings and go. then one member introduced offering of refreshments in the form of biscuits and soft drinks and it became the norm. When a member is scheduled to be visited he will refuse because he or she can't afford the refreshments. Na so house fellowship take scatter o cry but OP if you cannot reject a car gift because you cannot afford it, you're an hypocrite
