[quote=Anonymous]Sorry, but announcing scores like that is a FERPA violation.  those scores are educational records and a teacher can not disclose them without violating privacy rights.

There is no discussion or negotiation to be had about this.

Write a simple email - state the facts about the disclosure. State the law - that it’s a privacy violation and impermissible disclosure of educational records. State that you expect it was an oversight that won’t happen again.  Send to the gym teacher and Principal.

For bullies like the Gym teacher, IME, the behavior doesn’t stop until they realize it could affect them professionally in a negative way.  They only realize this when bullying is exposed to supervisors inside and outside school. They depend on your fear of retaliation to keep you submissive and accepting of the abuse, but they lose their power when you speak up.

If this issue happens again raise it outside the school in writing with the head of special education.  Forward the previous note.  While this is not per se a Special ed issue because ALL kids would hate this kind of shame-based motivation, IME, special education top level supervisors recognize better than most administrators that this kind of behavior can potentially represent an expensive civil liability.
