[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To be clear, I think all children have the right to go to school and expect not to be hit.  I would hope that all schools are doing what they can to keep kids safe, and to deal with perpetrators appropriately.

I still don't think schools need to inform parents every time something happens.  Basically, I think that parents ought to let the school deal with it with the hitter and the hitter's parents/guardians.  The hittee is the victim, and should be cared for, but the parents don't NEED to be involved unless there was an injury or unless the school isn't dealing with it.

The school isn't dealing with it if the victim's family does not get notified.  Sorry but this could seriously come back and get the school in financial trouble.  If my child was being hit multiple times and I was not notified (which by the way lets the victim think it is no big deal and no need to inform you, which is scary in itself) and then she gets a laceration from scissors or sprains/breaks something from that same child, THEN I hear about all the harassing, I would be suing the school for neglect.
