If they were allowed to pay the math teacher they would.

There is a definite conflict of interest.

The parents who do not see it are the ones who have no problem paying and kissing [ChillLaxin]. The parents who come on here and tell you to suck it up and stop whining are the very same ones who are emailing, texting and making phone calls behind the scene to "advocate" for their kid. They are the very same parents who have been calling and emailing the teachers, principles, coaches and Athletic Directors on behalf of their kids for years. These parents do not expect their kid to be judged by the kids ability, they preemptively attempt to "develop a relationship" with all who might be able to help their kid. They know how to play the game and the coaches, teachers, AD's etc... eat it up.

It is a conflict.
