No, this is a violation of student privacy. A teacher or a professor is violating the law if they tell a student personal information about another student. If that other student finds out, they can go to the DA and press charges and they can sue the teacher and the school for the violation of the student's privacy.

That depends on the currcumstances. For example if a student does something that a teacher finds annoying they sometimes talk about it to other teachers. But if a student tells a teacher personal information teacher are not supposed to tell anybody if a student tells a teacher personal information and the teacher tells someone the teacher could get fired. However if the teacher is worried about a student they may tell someone out of concern. example if a student tell a teacher he wants to hurt himself or someone else. the student needs to talk to someone in that case it is ok for the teacher to tell someone.

For years, and quite possibly since ancient times, children have turned to adults in a position of authority to seek guidance when they were troubled. This mentoring, or continuous passing of the knowledge torch continues today and for the most part, the system works. Kids who, for whatever reason, can't seem to discuss problems with their parents, are able to resolve many issues by speaking with a trusted family friend, doctor, lawyer, faith leader, or teacher instead. Dr. King, you were correct: It does indeed take a village to raise a child.

This subject is debatable, of course, but to me in our society today, there seems to be a considerable mental shift from just "doing what is right" to "concern for liability if I do." This presents a somewhat darker side to the mentoring system and a certain reluctance for many to become involved. Some concern isn't necessarily unfounded. Media news broadcasts sometimes contain stories about mentors who found themselves facing criminal, or other legal liabilty for just "trying to help someone out." Some of them are found to have truly crossed a legal or moral line, others deemed to have been unjustly accused. Still, kids need help, someone they can turn to and someone they can trust.

I am not a teacher, but I imagine that schools have defined policies that would clearly outline a teacher's expected behavior in this situation. Violation of the policies would assuredly include negative consequences to the violator. Finally, all 50 states have laws that make it mandatory for teachers to report child abuse. Violators of these laws can incur criminal charges and possible imprisonment. (Please see Related Link below.)

Is it illegal for a teacher to give information about how a student got in trouble?

It depends on whom the teacher gives the information too. Divulging information regarding students to other students or individuals outside the school administration or law enforcement could be considered a breach of student privacy. However, releasing information to other teachers, school officials, yourself, or your parents is not a breach of any law or privacy rights.

'Either the teacher or the students is to blame for the fire' - is this sentence grammatically correct?

The sentence "Either the teacher or the students is to blame for the fire" is not grammatically correct. The subject "teacher" and "students" are connected by "or," making them a compound subject. In this case, the verb should agree with the closest subject, which is "students." Therefore, the correct form of the sentence should be: "Either the teacher or the students are to blame for the fire."

Can a teacher ask a student in front of other students if they have had their medication?

Yes, it can be considered a reminder that something must be taken. Medical needs of students is one of the duties of a teacher. I have often asked students if they needed to take medications for various reasons. This is not an insult or a "put down", but a request for information and a reminder.
