Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Correct answer: Informs parents the confidential matters related to students for their benefit.
Why this is NOT an obligation:
Teachers must protect students' privacy and confidentiality. They should not disclose personal or sensitive information about a student without the student's or guardian's consent.
Disclosure is permitted only in specific circumstances, such as to safeguard the child, to meet legal obligations, or with proper consent; it is not a general duty to inform parents of confidential matters.
Other listed obligations (adapting teaching to individual needs, respecting the child’s human dignity, and treating students with care and affection) are explicit professional duties toward students in the NCTE code.
Takeaway: Maintain student confidentiality and exercise professional judgment; communicate with parents when appropriate and required, but do not treat disclosure of confidential matters as a routine obligation.
