Case: Too close for comfort
My son attends a different middle school from where I teach. I have a close friend who happens to teach at my son's middle school. She has been taking it upon herself to discuss my son's grades with his teachers, even though my friend DOES NOT teach my son. I am VERY bothered by this. I don't feel like, ethically, it is any of her business to discuss my son's academic affairs unless I bring it up in conversation and ask for her input. How should I handle this?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
As a parent and fellow education professional, you have every right to be upset and disturbed. With that being said, I would address the teacher first in hopes that some level of understanding can be achieved. Hopefully, addressing the teacher will serve as a direct and positive solution. |

Comments: The “teacher friend” should not be discussing the students information or grades with other teachers.
There is no direct tie to that teacher and student so it is concerning that she has gathered this information to begin with. |
