Simpson p. 56

“A confidentiality provision is not a blanket prohibition against service providers and school staff talking together to coordinate services. It is simply a protection against sharing information about a person over that person’s objection or sharing information that does not serve a specific purpose that is in a child’s or family’s interest” (Greenberg & Levy, 1992, 6.)

Wiki words

“Something I wonder about is asking students about the books they are checking out just to talk to them about what they are reading. I have done that in the past and then I have wondered if I am just supposed to check out the book and not engage at all and sort of pretend I don’t notice what they are checking out.”

Wiki words

“I know of some parents who do not allow their children to take books out of the school library because the parent doesn't want to have to worry about returning them. Any ideas about how to address this issue?”
