Illegal startup

A Kid starts a business: he provides origami lessons for classmates for 1 dollar. The Kid holds the origami lessons during recess.

The Kid earns 30 dollars in two days, but The Teacher notices the business, confiscates all the profits, scolds the Kid and returns the money to the “victims”. To make things worse, the Teacher also calls Parents of the Kid to school.

Pre-negotiation points:

The Kid- is resentful. He watches business YouTube channels and knows that he had a legitimate business! He learned how to make intricate origami figures himself. His classmates were happy with the lessons! He needs his hard earned money back. He loved the teacher until this incident.

The Teacher- feels outraged. How can someone make money at the expense of their own classmates? At school?! What will the principal say?! He wants to explain to the Kid that this is unacceptable, to restore his authority, but to remain on good terms with the Kid.

The Parent - admires the Kid’s ideas, but wants to help the Kid to understand the Teacher’s reasoning. The Parent deems the Teacher's behavior improper but agrees that providing paid services to elementary school students is inappropriate.
