Should school inform parents about firings?

Ask parents of kids/alumni where students were exposed to abuse and schools fired the teacher but didn’t disclose the reason.

This is not a corporate job and comparing the two makes no sense. We are talking about vulnerable minors.

The school should go on record and say NO inappropriate behavior happened.

Sounds like OP should reach out to the school and ask then

The situation is different. The teacher are not my coworkers. Actually their salaries are paid from the tuition i pay. If the service is subpar I deserve some explanation on what is not working. Maybe what happened is not acceptable and I would like to move my kid from the school if I knew. This school in the past hid cases of child abuses, that’s why I am suspicious.

Not sure about that. If an employee commits a criminal act in the company, typically that’s open information. Just read the newspapers.

This. Fully agree. At least to mention that nothing criminal happened. The school I am talking about did not disclosed cases of child abuse in the past.

Lol, can you not understand analogy???

The school is the teacher's workplace. You are sort of like a customer or client. Do you feel it is appropriate for a workplace to share if and why someone was fired?

Agree. School counselor gets fired. Definitely vulnerable minors.

If it’s a criminal act it is normally informed.

But is it a criminal act?

My place of work: Fired people are my coworkers and so therefore deserving of discretion

Any place of work I frequent as a customer or client: I pay their salary and am entitled to know the details of every personnel decision

You couldn’t pay me enough to work for private school parents

Hard to tell if the school does not discard that case.

Not sure what you are talking about. Workers that steal from stores are fired, reported to the police, and mentioned in the press. Where is the privacy?

News flash -- people are usually fired for performance reasons that have nothing to do with having broken the law!

It sounds like you're meddling, OP.

Private school teacher here. Please tell me you aren’t serious.

You have absolutely no right to my personnel file. I don’t work for you. I work for my employer.

Don’t trust your school? Then leave. It’s that simple. As a tuition-paying parent, that’s one type of authority you actually do have: over whether you stay or not.
