[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Re: asking what is being done to help the kicker, my DD’s school has policies in place to deal with this kind of thing; the teachers and staff assured me that they were following policies, and informed me of the steps being taken to lessen chances of incidents like this, where one child shows a pattern of hurting other kids. I didn’t request nor expect any special knowledge about the kicker, just communicated that I expected some action would be taken. In instances where a child doesn’t show a pattern, or the incident doesn’t warrant it, I’m not nearly as concerned; DD has been in school/daycare for 2.5 years, and 90% of the time I do trust the teachers and staff to do what needs to be done. Maybe it’s just me, but I do feel that kicking someone intentionally is outside the norm of behavior, even for little kids. I don’t know if it can be called eavesdropping to overhear conversations being held in the hallways of the school or outside in the parking lot where anyone nearby can hear. If you can assume that DD is my first, I think I can assume that [b]you must be one of those parents who always assume the worst about any parent who is not completely hands off but shows concern for their child and ensures that he/she has access to all available and appropriate resources, including those that protect them from mistreatment.[/b] [/quote] Have you tried bubble wrap? You think your kid hasn't intentionally hit or kicked someone? Your child is NOT being mistreated. You're getting your knickers in a knot because of one incident involving your child. You need to calm down. Your high need for information is unreasonable and inappropriate. If the school has such detailed policies on how to deal with this sort of thing then why are you posting on DCUM asking how we would expect to be informed of the incident and by whom? it sounds like you wanted your hand held a little more and are pissed because the school didn't do it. [/quote] I’m not the OP. Also, it would be helpful if you read the thread, your response makes it clear that either you haven’t done that or might need some reading comprehension help. This is my last response on this thread. [/quote] Not the PP you’re responding to but I think she’s hit the nail on the head. OP has stated several times that her issue was how the school communicated with her and a number of people have told her she’s overreacting (and that it’s obvious she’s a FTM). Yet, she keeps bringing up the other kid. If she were truly interested in just communication when a child has been hurt, there would be no need to even bring up this other child because it doesn’t matter whether the hurt was inflicted by another child or a fall on the playground, the way the school communicates would be the same. Whether this child has done this before, whether there’s a pattern or not, OP’s focus should be restricted to her own child. Her child has been kicked by the other child ONCE. It’s not OP’s job or business what this child has or has not done to kids that are not hers. The more experience OP has with schools, the more she’ll understand that its the school’s job to handle and she has no right to know about or concern herself with someone else’s kid. If OP feels her child is being mistreated or a target, she needs to communicate that and what the school is doing to make it a safe environment for her child. She has no right to know what the school is doing about the other child – particularly since there’s only been ONE incident involving her child. OP should MYOB, stop gossiping and stop listening to conversations she hasn’t been invited to participate in. [/quote]
