Professional misconduct?

[nilbyname]

There is a teacher that I know who I think has acted unprofessionally.

Another parent made a formal complaint about another teacher lets call him mr Jones. Mr Jones is friends with the teacher I know, let's call him mr smith.

Mr smith was with his kids at and out of school activity with some other parents, and they got chatting/passing the time while watching their kids.

Mr smith tells a couple of parents about this formal complaint letter on mr Jones and how he thinks the parent who made the complaint is a pain and how this parent is in the wrong.

This has come to my attention as one of the parents has asked me what they should do! The were shocked that mr Jones has broken confidentiality and basically gossiped about it!

So MN jury, what would you advise the parent who heard it first hand to do?

I asked DH and he thinks mr Jones would get in all sorts of trouble, a warning? Sacked?

For context this is not the 1st time Jr. Jones has gossiped or been indiscreet.

It's not about teachers and schools I have tried to anonymise my post.

You may have tried to do that but not many seem to have picked that up. I may be being oversensitive but it now comes across as yet another post painting teachers in a bad light.

It is for your friend to make their own judgement call.

But what has any of it got to do with you?

Utterly nothing to do with you, or anyone on this thread.

Are you that bored OP?

pan projecting much, is there need for such aggression?

I'm a teacher.

The person In question is acting like a dick and I leave it to them to petard themselves.

Thanks for all the opinions and advice.
