Is it illegal for teachers to accept parents' red envelopes?

Legal analysis: if the red envelopes collected by the parties seek illegitimate interests for others, or the red envelopes collected are illegal and reach a certain amount, it constitutes the crime of accepting bribes. If it is a public school, it belongs to the category of public institutions. Even if the amount of the teacher's parents' red envelopes is small, it is also a bribe.

Legal basis: Article 163 of the Criminal Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that employees of companies, enterprises or other units take advantage of their positions to ask for or illegally accept other people's property and seek benefits for others. If the amount is relatively large, they shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years or criminal detention; If the amount is huge, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than five years and may also have his property confiscated. Article 385 stipulates that a state functionary who takes advantage of his position to ask for other people's property, or illegally accepts other people's property to seek benefits for others, is guilty of accepting bribes.
