[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the school puts the doctor’s name in Google it’s going to find out what the doctor’s specialty is. Don’t trust them with that information. [/quote]

A PEDIATRICIAN!!! I think they have better things to do..[/quote]

Fine if it’s a pediatrician. If it’s a specialist it reveals information and it’s a mental health specialist they will gossip about it. [/quote]

I’m all for privacy but give the attendence secretary a little credit. She’s not going to gossip about a student’s therapy appointment.  Also, this type of mindset is exactly why there is a stigma around mental health. Talking about mental health and normalizing caring for it is the best way to fight stigma and get more teens (and adults) into treatment. My child recognizes that he is not alone in his struggles. He has many friends who also see therapists and they discuss it with one another without shame or embarrassment. And these are all kids you would neber know struggle because they are honors/AP students, well behaved, and many are successful athletes. [/quote]

I’ve been around MCPS too long to give the attendance secretary any credit or the benefit of the doubt. Don’t trust MCPS with your kids’ private medical information.  [/quote]
You definitely have not been around MCPS if you think a doctor's note has private medical information.

The name of the doctor by itself is revealing and most of the doctor’s stationary has the name of the practice as well. It’s none of the attendance secretary’s or the school’s business. I know attendance secretary is a boring job but you don’t need to try to make up for that by being in the know about who’s had an abortion, who’s seeing a psychiatrist, and who’s getting gender-affirming care. Give it a rest and mind your own business. [/quote]
