Case
Real estate broker

You are married to a real estate broker and teach in a rapidly growing community. You send home a student profile sheet the first week of school. You share the student information; i.e. names, addresses, phone numbers, parent and other information with your spouse who is looking for new customers. Were any ethics principles violated?

Solution #1
Yes, the ethics principles were violated because of confidentiality.

I agree 100%.

Solution #2
The code of ethics was violated by providing personal information about students to an outside party. You also gave your spouse an unfair advantage by providing them with this personal information that is not public record.
Solution #3
Absolutely. As a teacher you are required to have a certain amount of discretion and confidentiality when if comes to student information. The spouse also violated ethics by accepting the information as well.
