So I finally got tired of not knowing my students names and faces after 8 months of trying. But I only see them once a week and they're always wearing masks so I get confused. Plus I'm horrible with that kind of things anyway. I decided to ask my CT for a student list so I can finally get a handle on this nonsense. The following is the conversation we had:Me: Can I please have the student list for all the classes? I'd like to start paying attention to each student.CT: I don't know... we've never done that. Me: It would really help me keep track of the students. CT: That's private information.Me: Oh, I just want the class roster that all the other teachers have, with the students names and pictures. CT: That's private information. Only teachers should have that.Me: ...I am a teacher? CT: That's private information. We've never done that.Me: So is it not allowed?CT: ...You don't need their names or to know what they look like to teach the lessons.Me: I guess not, but I think it would help me teach better.CT: That information is only for teachers.Me: But I am a... oh never mind.
I laminated for the first time yesterday and was feeling all for figuring out another machine in Korean but somehow I fed something through and it spiraled into the machine and now someone has to come fix it because I am a dumb foreigner.
LDEstrada,Sorry, but you don't need the phone numbers of your students. IMHO, that is an odd request.Suggestion:Make a seating chart stencil and simply assign responsibility to each class captain for getting it filled out and updated when need be (this keeps your coteacher out of the loop).Then you will be able to address them by their given names from then on.
The first year I asked I got the names and pictures and phone numbers with no problem.
Pecan, if you read my post you'll see that I requested the basic student list that all the teachers have that only has the students names and associated picture. No phone numbers were mentioned by me at all.

One of my travel coTs made a point of telling me twice that we wouldn't have classes one day in May due to that school's birthday. Just texted me that we actually will have classes that day.
Right. Yes, I know that was you.I don't see why any teacher in their right mind would be opposed to providing the names and pictures only.As you stated, it is the phone numbers that are contained within that file that are the issue regarding privacy.

If they were going to give the document to a foreigner, who would inevitably turn around and sell the numbers to a North Korean spy, they would have delete all the phone numbers first, and that would be a pain in the ass.
