[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The child would have come in eventually. There was no emergency. If he was still on the playground when the school day ended, and he couldn't transition safely to the bus or however he gets home, THAT is when the parent should be called.[/quote]

What if every kid did that? Just refused to come into the classroom? They are having a situation in the playground and choose to not come in. Then what?[/quote]

Well, that would be a lot easier to staff, because the teachers wouldn't have anyone in their classrooms.

If your kid had a significant issue.   Would you be OK if your doctor made dangerous choices because "What if every kid needed chemotherapy?  There wouldn't be enough?"    Because that's basically what you're justifying here.  That the school shouldn't have cared about the physical and emotional safety of this kid, because it was inconvenient to do so, or because of some hypothetical situation where it wouldn't be possible.  Calling the police on a kid who isn't being actively unsafe increases the danger to the child.  Kids die from physical restraint every year in this country.

I would add to the top PP that as a parent, I would want to be notified if this was happening to my kid.  Not so I could come pick him up, but because I would want to know what's going on with my kid.
