 I agree, here in Sweden teachers in nursery scholl is forbidden to
 pass on any information about the kids to the grade school.
 It is the parents who decide whether information should be given to
 the grade schooll teacher or not.

 If the teacher don't respect the students or if the teaching is bad in
 some other way then even the "brightest" will become "dumb" or "sloth-ful"
 after a while because he/she won't be able to profit by the education.
 With "dumb" and "sloth-ful" I mean regarding to the teachers opinion, maybe
 the student  find it better to study at home insted of wasting time while
 visiting useless classes.
