Imagine that you, as Reese’s new teacher, have just returned from a visit to Reese’s grandparents. During your home visit, Reese’s mother vented about her failed relationship with her husband and the reasons for their divorce. Now the teachers in the teachers’ lounge are pushing you for the juicy details. What is your responsibility in this situation and why?

I would definitely not tell the nosey teacher about Reese’s details for a couple reasons. First and foremost, the mother told me, not the other teacher. If the teacher wants to know about the mothers’ background, she can ask the mom herself. Secondly, the information the mother told me is not my business. I just assume that the more personal information people tell me is private and that they came to me in confidence. I don’t think there would be much of a benefit if I told the other teacher because she isn’t Reese’s teacher, so it’s none of her business. If I were to tell the teacher ANYTHING, it would be “the child has had a more difficult past than most other children”.
