Do this. Documentation is your friend. I do think that if the aftercare is part of the school, you are not likely to get any written statement from staff there because they probably would fear trouble at work if they provide such a statement to a parent. Still, get documentation from the doctor ASAP. And then write a letter to the principal and copy the teacher. Send it by registered snail mail (registered "real" mail tends to get attention because lawyers and other official sources use it). Send an email the same day the school receives the registered letter. Say you expect to meet with the principal to discuss this by Date X.

Specific dates and stuff on paper will get more attention than a vague email of complaint.

I would tell the principal in the meeting that you want an explanation of the school's policy on sending kids to the nurse. Ask if there is a written policy in a teacher handbook or anything like that or if it is left up to the teacher based on the circumstance. Show open-mindedness by asking if there was any reason the teacher might have felt your son was exaggerating and if he has asked for unnecessary visits to the nurse in the past. Emphasize that while your son is recovering now, you want to ensure this doesn't occur with other kids.[/quote]
