[quote=Anonymous][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]

There’s no private medical info on the note DS brings. It’s a form letter.

It says “________ had an appointment with __________ on ___/___/___. Please excuse their absence. They can return to school on on ___/___/___ with _________ restrictions.”

Do you really think the attendance secretary in a huge MCPS school like Blair (or any MCPS school) has the time or inclination to Google who Dr. Granola is to find out if he shrinks tumors or he’s a shrink?[/quote]

Not worth taking the chance that it ends up in the hands of one of the perverts looking for the most vulnerable kids who no one will believe or one of the antisemites. [/quote]
