[quote=Anonymous]I had a conference with my daughter's teacher earlier this year where I asked that she be separated from another child in class. Other child wasn't doing anything wrong, but has a habit that my daughter (who has ADHD) finds especially distracting and disruptive when she's trying to focus. The focus of the conversation was truly on my daughter and what she needed to do what she's supposed to, I specifically said to the teacher that I knew the other child wasn't doing anything wrong and that the issue was with my child's response. Apparently the teacher made some reference to our conversation to the parent of the other child, who is now pissed at me and says I'm trying to blame my child's problems on her kid (which is also concerning because other kid's parent had no basis previously to know my daughter has ADHD, but from what the parent said it seems like they may have picked it up from the teacher).

Do I have any privacy expectation here around information I share in a private conference with the teacher? Yes, I discussed my daughter's interaction with another student, but with no suggestion that the other child was doing anything inappropriate or that would warrant disciplinary action. I have no idea the context in which the teacher shared this information (other parent wasn't forthcoming about that), but this feels like a huge violation of my daughter's privacy given that the issue was ultimately my child's special needs rather than the other child.[/quote]
