I talked to my children's teacher all the time if I think I need to. It is my responsibility to make sure that my kids are doing well in school and learning what they need. I also make sure that they are having appropriate behavior at school because I want them to grow up to be well behaved. Your dad cares about your future. Thank him...you will appreciate it when you are older!

There is no such thing as student-teacher confidentiality. As a minor, your contract to attend school in your district is between your parents and the school board. Your teacher is required to talk to your parents to be sure you are getting the best education you can. Even when you are 17 and if you should get into trouble, the first person the Police are going to call is your parents. Your parents are responsible for all you do until you legally become an adult.

From a parent's point of view, yes. If there is something going on in the child's life that they are not comfortable discussing with the parent but are comfortable with the teacher the teacher can keep the parents informed. Say your grades dropped this marking period because "Jimmy" dumped you but you didn't want to tell your parents because you feel they may think it is a trivial matter so you tell your teacher who you might be closer with in these matters. Mom and Dad call the school to discuss your dropping grades with your teacher fearing the worst (drugs, alcohol, overly intimate relationships, peer pressure, etc.). First off it's reassuring to discover it's because of the ending of the relationship with "Jimmy" and not those other issues. Secondly, Mom and Dad can in a round about way address it at home to let you know they understand where you are in life and they will be as supportive as possible. If there are problems in school based on something going on at home the teacher can address this with the parents as well to help change the situation.
Point is, there is no handbook telling us what to do and kids don't always want to confide in their parents( be it out of fear of disappointment, maybe embarrassment, maybe they are not sure of how to put it or how the parents will take it) so to have as many open lines of communication available in raising children is always a plus. It's there so we can help not hurt or embarrass. I would suggest if your dad embarrassed you in any way discuss it cooly with him and maybe try to figure a way for it to be either less embarrassing or not embarrassing next time.
I know you wanted kids only but I was a kid once whose parents didn't make those calls. Because they didn't show concern for me or my actions I made wrong decisions which lead to the end of my career before it began. Maybe if they just once made a phone call to see what was going on things might have been different.
Good luck.

no parents have the right to know what is going on. If you are doing your homework passing your class. It is embarssing especially if you have not done some assisments. I rember that feeling. At least your father only called my mother use to go to school once a quarter to see my teachers espcially if i had a C in a specific class to see why i got the C and wha i needed to do to get a better grade.
OK DID NOT KNOW YOU WERE IN COLLEGE
Well that is another story no parents don't call your professors that is your call to go see them and talk to them at that point

there is no such thing as teacher student confidentiality. If you're dad calls your teacher there is nothing keeping your teacher from telling your dad everything he knows. And yes, sometimes parents need to call because kids don't tell their parents anything.

Parents should call their childrens' teachers if there is a problem that could be affecting school work or if the child is having difficulties in class.
If my daughter was in college and misspelled "their" with "there" I would be worried and call the school as well!

He is your father, and calling means he cares and is interested in what is happening in your classes. If there is reason for him to worry about your grades, then he should be calling in. He cares about your future. If your grades are fine, then why complain? He'll have a reason to be proud of you, and how bad can that be?

If you are paying for college BY YOURSELF...completely then NO he shouldn't have called. But if he is paying any of it or if you live with him then he is just trying to protect his "investment". I'm sure he means well.
