Setting aside the moral implications of turning teachers into the children's Gestapo, this is also incredibly stupid and short-sighted because it will simply guarantee that kids never confide anything in their teachers.

Of course, I suppose you figure they'd just report that "Johnny looks a little fruity," and leave it to the parents to put two and two together.

Gestapo?

There's a deep understanding that children do WAY better when their parents are involved in their education. That's best when it means giving the parents feedback.

The ability to report to parents that the child is underperforming because they are high is not a question of being the Gestapo, but of doing the kid a MASSIVE favor.

When someone starts comparing parental responsibility to the Nazis, you know they’re maybe just a teensy bit off-kilter.
