[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I need some clarification.  OP in your initial post you and the teacher discussed the other child and her habit.  Why is it okay if you talk about another child but not the other parent?[/quote]

Thank you for this question, it really helped crystallize the problem for me, which I was having trouble articulating before. The problem is the direction of the flow of information. I provided information to the teacher that I had received from my daughter in order to help the teacher find a solution to a classroom management issue. I did not ask for, nor did I receive, information about someone else's child. This parent was given information about my child, and it was done with no apparent need for the information to justify the violation of my child's privacy. [/quote]

Thank you for responding and putting it so nicely.  I was really having trouble understanding the problem because my first interpretation of your original post was that [i]you[/i] had been discussing this other child first.  I have a much better understanding now.

I agree with some other posters that you should discuss it with the teacher.  It could be, as a poster put it back on page 1, that the parent didn't get any direct information but put 2 and 2 together; on the other hand, it could be something different.

My mode usually is to go in with a question and be very, very friendly.  I know other people tend to go in hard and nuke but that is just not my style.  I'm much more honey and flies.  Hopefully this was a one-off but you do want the teacher to know that the other parent has been unkind and you do want the teacher to know that you are concerned.  Good luck![/quote]
