1. The director showed a lack of communication between the parent and the teacher. She should have discussed the importance of keeping confidentiality.
2. The teacher in no way should be gossiping about the children in her care. That is wrong and is teaching the children that it is ok to talk about other people.
3. I do believe that there should have been a meeting between not only the parent and director but the teacher as well.
4. The director teacher and parent. And possibly hold a staff meeting to discuss the importance of keeping all children’s personal business confidential.
5. I do feel that a talk with the other children about a new student coming into the classroom would have been good. It would have prepared the class as a whole for a new face. The teacher could have gone over things that the children could have done in order to make the new student feel comfortable and welcome.
6. I think that it would have been easier for him if the teacher would not have made him feel like an outcast from the beginning. She could have allowed him to eat his sandwich and have him Elmo during naptime so that he would feel more secure within him new surroundings. If the sandwich and Elmo were not allowed this is another issue that should have been discussed between the parent and director before enrollment.
7. I don’t think it is professional to gossip about the children that you care for. We as teachers do not know all of a child’s past and we are not here to judge. We are teachers because we have a passion for children which includes seeing all children succeed.
8. If this happened in my center I would possibly fire the employee but would definitely hand out written warnings to each employee that was involved.
9. I would sit down with the teacher and parent to discuss all issues and assure the parent that her child would be well taken care of and that we as a whole were going to do whatever it took to make her child feel comfortable and welcome within the classroom.
10. If I was the parent I would be furious I am not sure what I would do probably withdraw him from the center and find somewhere else to take him.
