Should school inform parents about firings?

Beauty of the free market. Find a school that will disclose all the details you want about their employment decisions, start your own school, or vote with your dollars by leaving.

Then you need to move your kids.

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.

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.

If you molest a kid I absolutely have the right to know if you are doing that in the school. The school where my kids studies hide this fact in the past. Not good, you know.

Why are you at a school that has covered up child molestation in the first place?

Agree, but freemarkets work better when there is more information, not less. Why do you think Enron went bankrupt?

Happened 20 years ago and is one of the most prestigious schools in nw dc.

Clearly they didn’t hide it well enough if you know about it. (Or… just perhaps… this didn’t happen? What’s your source?)

And if you don’t trust the school, then leave. You don’t get to go on a witch hunt through personnel files based on some unsubstantiated hunch. That simply isn’t going to happen.

20 years ago? Get a grip OP.

The school doesn’t owe you this information. If you can’t trust them because of a decades-old situation under (I’m guessing) a different set of admin, you’re at the wrong school. And if it’s the same set of admin, then you made a dumb choice to start with.

I just asked how much information should be disclosed. Many teachers leave in the middle of the year which I start to find suspicious without any additional context.

I think it’s a legitimate question since there is so much secrecy. In any case probably for you is fine when several teachers leave in the middle of the school year.

Unless it is molestation, then all parents should be made aware.

I would trust the school to use the protocols put into place as they navigated through whatever it was.

If I did not trust the school, I would leave. Sounds like OP needs to leave

You don’t get context. Why a teacher leaves isn’t your business. It could be for medical reasons, or a move, or because of performance issues. Heck, they could have simply gotten sick of teaching.

Teachers aren’t your servants. They are professionals and they are afforded the same professional respect as you, whether or not you like that.
