Teachers who are late, in debt, or even not paid their allowances are very hesitant to mention this.
On a forum, a teacher named TBH "bravely" posted a story that was both funny and sad: a parent of a student living nearby sent her child to her to help her practice writing beautifully during the summer. The entire summer, for many reasons, the student only attended 2 sessions. The cost for 2 sessions including writing practice and food for the child was 300 thousand, but the parent of this student did not pay.
As a last resort, the teacher had to text the parent to remind her, but then the parent blocked her from contacting her. The student's family lives right next to teacher H's house and often passes by her house, but the parent "forgot" to send the teacher any money. It is known that teacher H has a small child and is also taking care of her elderly parents.

The teacher texted but the parent did not respond, then blocked the communication.
This female teacher's rarely seen and rarely shared story, when posted, received a lot of sympathetic responses and additional sharing from many other colleagues. In the summer, many parents want to send their children to summer clubs to practice more, supplement knowledge and skills, and want to study foreign languages, music, and painting. Most parents are conscious of fully implementing the compensation for the effort that teachers have put in with their children, but there are also some parents who "forget" this.
Ms. NTT - the person in charge of a center that supports skills and career guidance for autistic and mentally disabled children, shared about a case where a parent owed 9 months of tuition for their child. The center sympathized with this case and allowed the payment to be delayed for a long time, but then the parent blocked all contact with the center and teachers.

Female teachers have a hard time, and then feel embarrassed when they have to send messages like this.
Teacher NTM and another teacher NTT also shared about parents forgetting to send her the stipend. The teachers all have young children and are very busy during the summer, but because the parents trust and enthusiastically ask her to tutor their children, the teachers accept. The classes are held at home, the teachers have to spend a lot of money and effort to organize the classes, including providing air conditioning, snacks, and drinks for the students. Many students are poor students, have poor fundamentals, and have bad handwriting, the teachers have to work very hard to help the students improve. Teacher NTM sadly confided that the students finished 5 classes and then quit, and the parents did not leave a single message for the teachers.
Some music and art centers also have debt and forgetfulness in paying tuition fees for their children. Teachers who build these centers have to spend a lot of effort and money, including location, facilities, teacher salaries, musical instruments, and art supplies for learning. Students who participate usually pay in advance, but after they get used to it, teachers can allow them to pay later.
Teacher TBH and many other teachers said that if students have difficulties, she is willing to help. For teachers who provide extra support for students during the summer, these are all voluntary, based on the parents' initiative, and teachers are very shy to mention this.
Many people were very upset when they saw this confession from the teachers because some parents doing so showed disrespect to the people who educate their children.
