[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - I spoke with the teacher and I guess he told her on the way in from recess, and she says it is a really chaotic time so she asked him to talk to her after they got back to class.  Neither one followed up, and I guess the afternoon was spent at their desks. To get to SACC he hopped on one foot the whole way, so you would think someone would have noticed (besides SACC who called me immediately). The teacher apologized and I told my son to speak up next time.

He is not one to avoid school work or go to the nurse (this is only the 2nd time this year - 1st was for lice). So that didn't play into it. It sounds more like an oversight rather than an actual decision not to let him go.

For those that advocated escalating, I am trying to understand the purpose. I guess so that the administration could provide clearer guidance to teachers or make sure there wasn't a problem with the specific teacher? [/quote]

You should only escalate if you think the teacher was negligent.  The first step should always be "ask the teacher".  Children often don't have the whole story, as you found out.  This was not a case of "she didn't *let* me go" it was a case of a comment slipping through the cracks.  It happens.[/quote]
