Wow, that's a leap and a half.
At least in the example of parents being made aware of it, there's an opportunity for those parents to be involved in the process and be part of learning about it and learning about what their child is going through so they can help.
If parents don't know, then parents and the child distance themselves without the parent knowing what's going on and not through any fault of their own.
Again, I would hope that internal communication is good enough to have open dialogue between child and parent, but sometimes that's tricky. Having a conduit through a school where each side can understand each other more I think has a more positive long-term impact than the alternative where parents aren't involved in guiding.
