Friends, school, DS and schoolwork.

[Toraleistripe]

Grrrrrrrrr. Am I over reacting? Friend tells me that a mutual acquaintance of mine and friend of hers has been doing some voluntary work at DS' school. She has done some phonics work, maths and reading with Ds. Apparently told friend that DS was struggling and it appears they went on to have a conversation about this. Friend then tells me this. wtf. I am bloody furious with both of them. Acquaintance for discussing it in the first place and friend for them telling me. And she wasn't telling me in an informative way to highlight the wrongness of the situation. She was telling me it in a kind of gossipy way.

This happened on Thursday and I am still mad. As the days go on I am more mad. I need to tell both them don't i? Tell them not to discuss my sons progress together and acquaintance to share info outside of the classroom.

What catfordbetty said.

The acquaintance doesn't need to be removed from the classroom. Instead she just needs to know how to keep confidentiality.

I did a session at ds' school recently. A few days later I ran into one of the parents and I commented that his son was "bright as a button" during story time. I have been kicking myself ever since as although it was to the parent directly and very positive, it was nonetheless inappropriate. I should have said nothing. It reminded me the confidentiality is there for a reason and i will b extra careful in future.

Report to school. This is totally not ok.
