You're a first-year teacher, you're very busy, and you've fallen behind on scoring your students' papers. To save some time, you decide to have the students exchange papers, and score each other's tests (even though you don't do this as part of your typical routine). A parent protests, arguing that this procedure is unlawful, because it discloses confidential information (your child's test score) without consent. If the decision in this case is consistent with legal precedent, which of the following is the most likely conclusion?
◦ A court decision would rule in favor of the parent, based on one of the provisions of the Buckley Amendment.
◦ A court decision would rule in favor of the parent, based on the ethical principle of avoiding unnecessary embarrassment of a student.
◦ A court decision would rule against the parent, because this isn't part of your typical routine.
◦ A court decision would rule against the parent, because test scores on teacher-prepared tests aren't part of a child's permanent record.
