A Question of Ethics

[Don Korte <dkorte@GILLIGAN.ESU7.K12.NE.US>]

Each week I am required to submit a summary of the work I have done each
day for the past week to the assistant principal, my evaluator this year.
Last week one of my entries was that I had helped a certain teacher to do
research.  When the summary was returned, the comment "-on what?" had been
made after my entry.  Is it ethical to provide this information to an
administrator?  Does the administrator have a need, or a right, to know
what a teacher is researching?  The rationale I have been given for this
is that the administration needs to know what is going on in the library.
I would appreciate any comments and/or advice on how to handle this.
