The undermining of parent-child communications by schools and, more sinisterly, by government agencies such as Connexions, is a running theme through state education nowadays. They act as though they want to steal your child. Culturally they do.
Respecting your child's confidentiality is the touchstone. The school will tell you nothing, and I mean nothing (truancy, drug problems, pregnancies) unless your child consents to it.
