  Case: Other teachers discussing student performance on exams
You are in the teachers' lounge and cannot help but overhear several other teachers discussing student performance on exams, including student names and scores. The teachers' lounge is not very private; office personnel wander in to get coffee, and the door often stands open even though students pass by regularly and can overhear anything said. What would you do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would politely ask the teachers to not be so forthcoming with student names. However, discussing data is beneficial to all teachers. Sometimes we can find out new, innovative ways to teach our students by speaking with our peer. The only way to know that another teacher did well teaching a skill is through the discussion of data.
