Do teachers share things about pupils with their spouses.

[Starlet7992]

As above ^^ today was called in about an issue with Ds. All been resolved now. But the teachers spouse is an old family friend and I don’t particularly want her knowing as she may tell others. It’s nothing anything terrible. Just an issue that is now resolved but still I’m a very private person. Don’t like people knowing our business.

Are teachers allowed to tell their spouses about issues with an individual children?

NO! If it's not a 'positive' story, I want to leave it at work. Why relive dark times at home? If its something cheery, it's unlikely my husband wants to hear about someone improving their skills. No offence, but he doesn't know the kids, its totally unrelated to him.

I have genuinely never discussed a child with a family member.
Drunk, bizarre emails from parents sent after 22.00hrs are 100% up for laughs.

I would not worry as others have said it's highly unlikely.

With my kids I found any leaks of anything was often traced back to them...Chinese whispers.

Yes of course they do! I'm married to a secondary head and it would be strange not to hear about his work. No names are mentioned as that would breach confidentiality. If the child was a family friend etc etc then of course my husband would not say anything - that's just common sense.
