Should school inform parents about firings?

This is the original posting for the trolls: “ How is it done in your kids school. In our case, the school fires without explaining the circumstances to the parents.”

A firing during the start of the year does disrupt the quality of education and my kid. If the quality is lower I guess is reasonable to ask for this information as a customer. Maybe you are not use to ask question when there is a downgrade in quality. All if you would happily eat cat instead of steak in a restaurant without asking any questions.

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.


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.


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.


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.


If the electric company cuts the electricity in your house for 24 hours you shouldn’t ask anything to anyone. Just wait patiently until things get solve automatically.

Teachers aren’t utilities. They are humans who are afforded the same rights as you.

Want to keep going with your ridiculous abilities?

Yes, as customer I have the right why a teacher is leaving and there is no replacement. If there is not a good reason then I can change school. I am not going to guess and assume that there is a good reason.

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


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

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 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.

Get your story straight. Was a teacher fired and you’d like to know why, or are several teachers leaving and you’d like to know why?

You aren’t owed the details either way, mind you.

Yes, teachers are sacred cows that you cannot ask anything about them. Let them do whatever they want to do.

Fantastic! Then you have come to the only logical conclusion: change schools.

Just know that the next school is ALSO going to keep personnel matters private. That won’t change, regardless of the school you pick.

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

No, the market has determined that parents are okay with the current level of information they are getting.

The EMPLOYER has access to this information and the EMPLOYER can act on it.

You are not the employer, and therefore you have absolutely no right to a teacher’s private information.

That’s reality. If you don’t like it, move on.

Maybe for you. You are probably happy with this level of information: https://edition.cnn.com/2019/06/27/politics/washington-national-cathedral-schools-sex-abuse-investigation.

Good for you.

Sure, don’t ask question about your school if ignorance turns you on.
