    Totally agree,
    Its a excellent lesson to learn for any child and its an even better lesson for a child to learn that their parents won't always be there to fight their battles for them.

    I also wouldn't agree with mentioning it to the teacher, trying to get the school involved in a bad decision made by the child is just out and out silly.

    have to disagree with the second part. Looks like the girl scammed a number of other children. if she gets away with it, with no consequences, she will carry on thinking it's easy and worth it.

    sometimes, a strong rebuttal from a person in a position of authority is all it takes to get someone to understand how terribly wrong this is, and not worth doing again.

    These things tend to even themselves out none the less.
    If she's scammed a number of other children then word gets around and people won't ever trust her again in the school.

    If kids were older, i'd agree, but this is primary school, so personally would much prefer if a teacher told her this was unacceptable behaviour and there'd be consequences for doing it again.
