Do teachers have the legal right in Canada to contact a parent of a stundent 18 yrs old about his or her marks

Question

I am a student 18 years of age and i live in Ontario > Canada. Recently my father recieved a call from my math teacher about the results of my recent test and my current mark. Although I am sure she has only the best of intentions, i am wondering, due to the fact that i am 18 years old, if she has legal grounds to do so.

Answer 1

Can't give you the Canadian answer, but I can tell you how we do things south of your border...and I'm sure they are about the same.

As long as you are a student in public school, 18 or not, you are not considered as an "adult" until you graduate.

UNLESS, you are your own legal guardian, which is true for some 18 year olds...but don't move out of the house over this! Your teacher cares very much about your performance. Go see her for extra help. Show her you care about your education just as much as she does!

Answer 2

If you live at home I think that your parent(s) is/are considered your legal guardian. However this to me sound like a load of B.S. when I write it. I would ask legal aid. You can do this at universities like the UNiversity of Toronto or McGill. Just look up legal aid online "legal aid canada" or call your minister of parliaments office and ask. You can email the ministry of education too.

Answer 3

John is 100% correct as to how we do things here in the states, I was 19 my senior year in high school and I had to have parental permission to go on a field trip, or to get off the bus at a friends home, lol

Answer 4

I teach in Canada. Yes, if you are still under the legal guardianship of your parents, teachers have the right (and the responsibility) to contact your parents about grades.

Answer 5

There are no laws regarding test grades, grades, or anything within school. Not like a doctor where there is privileged information. Anyone can get your grades if they say they need them. Who pays your tuition? You or Dad? All you can do is ask that if you pay your own way at school, that they keep your information private and confidential. No laws though.

Answer 6

Yes, she had the right to do so because the teacher wants the student to do good in school.

Answer 7

<> merely via fact something it criminal does no longer mean it rather is precise. <> there's a reason you won't be able to spell 'assume' devoid of '***'. people who assume too plenty finally end up making asses of themselves. <> does not make experience, does it - and yet, there you're advocating human beings in elementary terms assume the government is stable! <> incorrect! <> advert hominem assaults injury your credibility. possibly Marc, like me, does not see too plenty interior the way of credibility whilst examining your question. <> The term "fetus" actually means "the extra youthful interior the womb". The fetus IS a residing individual. existence starts off at theory, no longer start nor some arbitrary element in between. subsequently, each and every abortion constitutes the homicide of an unborn individual. <> however the fetus IS human. subsequently, abortion IS homicide. <> what's so narrow minded approximately acknowledging the unborn for the residing human beings they're? when you consider which you're no longer able to try this, does no longer that advise your ideas is in reality extra narrow than mine? <> That merely is going to instruct how schizophrenic human institutions could be - and you prefer to assume such an business enterprise (the government) is stable.
