[quote=Anonymous]I brought my kid to the ENT.
What was in his ear that was blocking is hearing a spitball.
I knew this was happening and ignored it.
It is 12 years later, and I am still annoyed when I see this 22 year old.

When your child is harmed, you have a right to be upset. If you are me, hold that grudge as long as you can.

However, teachers can't always announce consequences.

She may have:
Emailed the other child's parents
Added the incident to a chart about behaviors she is asked to track to get this child evaluated for a disorder
Gone to admin and told them she wants this child moved out of her class
Took the child off to the side during recess or a special and offered a consequence away for the group
Went to a counselor to report the behavior.
Called CPS because children who hurt others are sometimes hurt at home (probably not).

If your child got treatment from the nurse she may have addressed it away from your child to not embarrass your child, since he was injured in a sensitive place.

You are well within your rights to ask admin to look into this because you don't want the classroom to be a place where people need to be on-edge or hypervigilant and ask for some support for the teacher and a review of the policy/handbook. Maybe the child should be suspended for a day.
