1. The Mother's confidentiality code was violated when her child's records were transferred without her permission and then discussed between then two directors and the teacher. Hanging the child's paperwork on the door is also a violation of the code.
2. The child's confidentiality code was violated when the teachers were talking about him to each other on the playground.
3.The discussion between the two directors should not have discussed the child's medical disability or behavior unless requested by the mother.
4. The mother should have been included in the meeting between the two directors.
5. The teacher and maybe even the mother should have sat down with the class and discussed the child's disability so that the kids understood and didn't keep asking him questions.
6.Somethings that would have made Eric's transition into his new school easier would have been going over the rules with the parents and Eric concerning lunches and stuffed animals. Having a discussion with the kids about his disability so that there would be less questions and pointing.
7.The teacher's conversation at the restaurant was inappropriate. The conversation breaks the confidentiality code of the teacher,students and students families.
8. The conversation could have happened in the staff lounge with the door closed if the conversation would helped the child"s behavior being understood by the teacher directly involved with the children being discussed.
9. As a director you should discuss the confidentiality code with your staff and any consequences that could follow breaking the code.
10. As a mother myself and a child care provider, I would not recommend leaving Eric in that school.
11. Moving Eric again could be a little traumatizing for him but, leaving him in the new school could be more traumatizing than moving him.
Thank you for your thoughtful and sensitive answers.
