Many thanks Linsey Ott for sharing your story with us. My current position is an ELT supervisor and some of my duties are training teachers, evaluating teacher performance and write reports to the ministry of education. Before taking this job, I used to teach English and I was in the chalkface for not less than 20 years. Having read your story, I agree with you in most of what you perceive as a difficulty to build trust between educators and students. It is difficult, too, to involve the school administrative staff in such issues because each of those stakeholders sometimes have their reasons why not to inform the other for what they think is best for the students. My personal point of view in this respect, is that teachers, parents and school staff must be trustworthy to one another; and if they want to be so, they must not hide or cover up for the students. On the contrary, they need to interfere in the kids' privacy and let the children know from their early childhood that cheating, truancy ...etc lead them to nowhere and that honesty is truth is a key to success and academic achievement.
