My daughter, Evelyn, told me this morning that her friend, Jessica, asked her when she's getting glasses.
Confused at the question, as no one but the family and the teacher are aware that my daughter does need to get her eyes examined, Evelyn asked her Jessica who she heard that from.
Jessica said that one of their teachers told Jessica and another friend that Evelyn needs glasses.
I was quite taken aback that her friends were divulged such information from the teacher and Evelyn was upset about it, too.
I never said she was actually getting glasses to her teacher, either.
I took some time this morning to mull over what to do. I called the school and talked to the vice principal and he said that he'll investigate and look into it.
I don't know the context and tone or how that conversation came about between the teacher and Evelyn's friends. Hopefully it was nothing too serious. I know it's nothing too bad and embarrassing. But I'm wondering of there is more going on that I don't know about.
I view it as a breach of confidentiality and privacy. I've came across another teacher way back when Evelyn was in kindergarten, with a gossip-happy teacher that was way too comfortable sharing very personal and sensitive information to me about other kids. So, I know this kind of teacher behaviour exists.
