[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there a specific concern you have, OP? A delve into records that went too far?

Like others, I check students grades in other classes when I’m concerned - is it just in my class? Is there a specific weakness in reading or math that might affect what I’m seeing? Are they going to class at all or are they failing because they’re skipping?

I look at birthdays too because it’s nice to say happy birthday. I rarely look up addresses but did recently in a conversation with a kid about not coming on time and claimed it was a long walk (it was 2 blocks with no major streets to cross). I’ve looked up siblings to see if they have similar attendance concerns (is it just my kid or a household thing?) It all helps paint a bigger picture and find out if it’s something I can address or something that can be brought to a counselor or ppw.

I’m not snooping for fun. I’m gathering data so I help a kid and refer out if I see a concerning pattern. I’ve been able to steer families in the right direction for special ed or transportation or community resources by paying attention to things other than their performance in the 45 minutes I have with them.

WTF would you have access to sibling information? That's going too far and MCPS needs to close that loophole. That's a huge breach of privacy. You're not even working with that other child. I'm [b]filing a complaint[/b] so MCPS can look into teachers who are accessing information inappropriately.[/quote]

+1..... Will do same. Others should too. 
Why does a reading intervention personnel (or whatever title they have these days) need info on a student's sibling or on a student they don't even work with in the school? [/quote]
