Do teachers share notes on parents?

Anonymous
Eg do teachers routinely share notes (good or bad) about parents as kids move to the next grade? Like a 1st grade teacher giving a review of parents to the 2nd grade teachers?

Are you one of the crazy ones, OP?

In HS, yes, but only in extreme cases to warn. It’s common. We talk.

Yep. I’m not a teacher but I have friends that are. It’s mostly about the extreme obnoxious ones who become well known in the school for their bad behavior.

The “not my sweet boy” parents are an absolute nightmare. Since you asked.

Nothing in writing, but if there is an issue a teacher might ask last year's teacher what their experience was.

+1 Never in writing but yes, both positive and less positive (usually stuff like “you will never see or hear from this person”)

Is that positive or negative?

Seriously though, I talk about people I encounter at work, why wouldn't teachers?

Of course they do! Teachers talk about EVERYONE.

God I hope they do and I hope they laugh and make fun of some of us. They deserve that and I’m happy for them.

Teachers talked about other kids in front of me (I'm a parent!).
