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.


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.

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


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.


This is what happens when the employer has the right to decide what information to conceal and what information to release : https://edition.cnn.com/2019/06/27/politics/washington-national-cathedral-schools-sex-abuse-investigation

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.

OP, honey, we aren’t the trolls, you are.


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

We’ve answered your question. You ask how schools handle it. None of them disclose details. The fact that you don’t like that answer doesn’t make the responders trolls.

Your question has been answered over and over.

You don’t trust your private school. Got it. Your only option is to leave.

They aren’t going to open personnel records to you because you show up with links to scandals that have nothing to do current teachers.

It must aggravate you terribly that private school teachers are given professional respect and that their private lives aren’t open to your scrutiny.

Agree. Barring a criminal act, schools won’t and shouldn’t disclose personnel information to parents.

Agree with you criminal acts or physical attacks to kids but people here want NO disclosure at all. You really deserve what you get from your private schools.

Not quite.

You’ve been wanting to know why people got fired or left midyear. If it was a criminal issue, you’d know. Since you don’t, you can reasonably assume it’s absolutely none of your business.

And if that answer bothers you, then move to school you trust more. But know this: the next school isn’t going to tell you why teachers leave, either.

Teachers aren’t cuts of meat. They are humans who are afforded the same rights as you.


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.


There should be a replacement. You still have no right to an explanation of why the teacher left.

I guess depends of the reason. If personal issue no, agree.

Definitely I wouldn’t move to a school with parents as humble but you. I am glad you are not in charge of schools. You know school learn over time from their mistakes. Before it was ok to hide cases of sexual assault, not anymore. Maybe in the future there could be more disclosure of illicit activities by teachers. Just wait and see.

Teachers do not give up their rights to privacy when they accept a position.

You can’t use your distrust of an organization as a silly excuse to demand personnel files you have absolutely no right to. Schools aren’t going to tell you why teachers leave, and no amount of fabricated stories about “illicit activities” is going to change that.

If you don’t trust the school, then leave. There’s nothing keeping you there.

Sounds like you would be happy if that happened. Why?
