Ethics of Confidentiality

MCA seeks to protect the privacy of the family. Often the teacher is with the student more hours in the day than the parent. The hours together and the relationships that develop can often cause the student to reveal confidences about himself or herself personally or about home life and lifestyle situations. It is incumbent of that teacher to respect those confidences and to use them in counseling and guiding the student. Do not share these items with your associates or gossip about them to anyone. Student records and grades are items to be discussed at school only for the purpose of helping the student. Because MCA is in a Christian environment, people will reveal confidences to staff. Respect for these confidences between teacher and parent, and teacher and teacher, must be maintained.

Personal issues of the teacher should not be discussed in the classrooms. In terms of our school public relations, it is important that the teacher not discuss MCA in a negative way with others.
