A middle school principal in Des Moines, Iowa, has come under fire for his decision to end one classroom’s holiday pizza party because it would not be “fair” to students in other classes.
According to a report by the Des Moines Register, Brody Middle School Principal Thomas Hoffman is facing intense criticism after he personally removed pizzas from a classroom that was preparing to have a holiday party.
The students had been told at the beginning of the school year that they could earn a pizza party if they met certain requirements. After the students earned their reward, the teacher order pizzas for her classroom. Upon hearing of the pizza party, Principal Thomas Hoffman stormed into the classroom and took the pizzas back to his office. Before he left the room, Hoffman told the students that he never approves pizza parties.
In a Facebook post, parent Neil Erickson, whose son was in the classroom, explained what happened on the day of the party.
"My son attends Brody Middle School here in Des Moines. His class earned a pizza party that I believe the teacher paid for. He has been excited for this for days…telling me about it and how they earned it. Well today was the day. The pizzas were delivered to the class…the teacher paid and signed the receipt. Principal walks into the classroom and says “I never approve pizza parties” or something to that affect. He took the pizzas from the kids and let them sit in the office for the teacher to pick up after school.
"Now my son and his classmates lost the party they worked hard to earn and the pizza I’m sure is wasted now…and the teacher was left in tears. I just cant believe it!"

ReplyDeleteThis will actually be a good life lesson for all of those students. It’s unfortunate but that incident will remain with them.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a teachable moment.

ReplyDeleteThe lesson is your going to meet a lot of Aholes in life and your principle is one of them.
ReplyDeleteExactly
Delete11:22.... you nailed it!
ReplyDeleteNow fire that bastid. That's what I would call "fair".
The more appropriate thing to do is to beat his butt. In the good old days the men would simply beat his butt (hard).
ReplyDeleteHe would never do such a stupid thing again.
Well, if he did, the men would beat his butt and then drag his stupid butt through the streets with a horse.
Ahhh
The good old days.
When Men were Men
And women were glad for it!
What?
ReplyDeleteStudents don’t know where he lives?
Geez
If I were the teacher I would immediately call KFC for delivery!
ReplyDeleteHere's a lesson for him Taking something that is not yours is called theft. Have the idiot arrested and his picture on the news. Then he could also have a merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteHe over reacted and should include in his apology a pizza party at the local pizza place. These student were lied too. Unfair doesn't cut it. Is this similar to everyone gets prize no matter what - BS!
ReplyDeleteThe Principal’s career light just went out - very poor decision on his part.
ReplyDeleteSo he is also going to eliminate A's and B's cuz many students don't get those either.
ReplyDeleteYes, everyone gets a 'participation grade' and advances to the next level of stupidity in the public schools!!
DeleteWTF is happening to our great country? Trump has made it a lot better but we still have too much of this kind of BS going on.
