[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  There is nothing in my first post that says anything about the other kid. Those of you are commenting on the other kid are having your own side conversation here! My kid did not move when the other kid told him to move (they were sitting in the sandbox).  She intentionally kicked him in the face. She also drew blood from another child a few weeks earlier with her fingernails.  I simply asked how you would expect to be communicated to and by whom, if your 5 y.o. is kicked in the face by another kid.  I am not happy with how I was communicated with about it and don't think I should have received a vague email from a nurse who was not present, saying "from what I heard," with the suggestion that I get details from my child. I think I should have been communicated with directly from a teacher or someone who had the entire story. If you are going to email me about something that happened to my dc, give me details and facts not a piece of the story.  [/quote]

What is it that you want them to tell you?  The only thing you can expect to hear in a situation like this is that your kid got kicked in the face, a description of the injuries and the steps they took to treat it.  It's not an emergency and there's not much of a story here, so it seems fine that a nurse e-mailed you.  I wouldn't have even expected that unless there were some serious injuries.  And, the reason you have to Te the story from your kid is that the school is barred from telling you anything about the other kid, which as you point out, has been discussed ad nauseum.  I just don't see what else you thought you should have been told.[/quote]
