Yes, I would.

So I guess you would sacrifice other people's personal information for your own (erroneously or not) perceived reputation?

It has nothing to do with my reputation. More about her relationship with our child. Pretty sure it is widely know that she is indiscreet.

She is not as powerful as you suggest, and if she would retaliate against a child, then that is principal-worthy too.

Your approach is cowardly and you are indeed sacrificing the well-being of a community for the perceived safety of your child.

Oh, give me a break. Not the PP, but you're being way too over-dramatic. I wouldn't bother telling the principal either.

You have to pick your battles. Not worth it to start something based on a teacher being gossipy.

New to the thread, but a teacher divulging other students's test scores? That's so inappropriate, and a fireable offense. I can't imagine any professional teacher doing that. We've got a family at our school who is extremely upset about a rejection. I can see how in an extreme case another student's data could be dragged into the appeal.

The teacher did not reveal any student's exact test scores. The teacher explained that the selections were somewhat confusing. That there were a few students who were rejected who had the same teacher checklists and whose scores were in the same range as the students who were selected, and that the school had really advocated for a student, the student had scored well, but was not accepted. I imagine she or someone at the school also shared this information with the families that were not accepted. I don't think it's wrong to encourage those families to appeal.

Well then it's not such a big deal although I think an appeal is the way to get info. I'm sure lots of kids are in the same range. Maybe one point makes the difference between two candidates.
