Of course they do. And students talk about teachers behind their back.

Yes. Teachers do speak about pupils behind their backs. Since teaching means being involved with the pupils and the pupils are the main subject, then there is bound to be some conversation about pupils behind their back. Teachers may need to discuss a number of things about a pupil, such as how well they are getting on at school, if they are being bullied etc.

Teachers do talk about students behind their backs, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with this practice. As a teacher myself, I know from personal experience that it is sometimes necessary for educators to share information about their students. For example, if a student is suspected of plagiarism in one class, the instructor may consider warning his/her colleagues to be on the look-out, when essays or other written assignments are submitted. Additionally, if a teacher knows about an underlying problem that a student may have--such as a medical or a family issue-- which is likely to hinder his/her performance, others in the department should be notified, in order to ensure fair treatment.

There are some instances, however, when a teacher should refrain from talking about a student behind his/her back. For example, if the student tells the instructor something and confidentiality is explicity requested, then the professor should honour this in most cases.

TEACHERS Do, just like anyone in any profession. People in the health care field do it, customer service, sales, legal, it doesn't matter no matter what field, most people get talked about behind their backs. People do it too much, it's kind of sad.... I really have come to the realization that 90% of people are too afraid to say anything to anyone's face, so they just do it behind their backs... Sad but true.
