@chris @ned Why should parents be informed about their child's harmless experimentation against their child's wishes?
If a child of mormon parents asks their teacher not to tell their parents about their occasional mountain dew habit or a child of Muslim parents asks their teacher not to tell her parents that she is removing her headscarf sometimes, why should a teacher be forced to go running to the parents?

@chris @ned Or alternatively kids should be allowed to experiment at school without it getting back to their parents unless it's something genuinely harmful (experimenting with gender is harmless). If a kid with vegan parents is trying meat, or a kid with Jewish parents is attending campus crusade for christ then I would hope their teachers would let the kid experiment in peace.

@chris @ned Can you point to credible evidence of teachers concealing student's medical plans? The context of this discussion was cosmetic reversible changes.
