[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 4th grader came home today and wanted to talk about "something weird that happened at recess". For reference, my child refers to anything they find disturbing as "weird", ie discussing options to flee in an active shooter situation.

A child in a younger grade was out at the playground with an aide and started stealing items from kids on the playground. When the kids tried to get their items back, this devolved into the younger child kicking and punching the 4th graders, then the aide that was with the child, then the principal and assistant principal who came out to assist the aide in removing the younger child from the playground.

The 4th graders who were injured were spoken to but my child said no one spoke to any of the kids who witnessed the scene and were disturbed by it. Apparently this isn't the first incident with this child that mine has witnessed and they're not even in the same class.

Is this something we should expected communication from the school or teacher about? Is this something we need to be speaking to admin about? I understand that some children have issues that they cannot control but it also isn't okay that my child felt unsafe and teachers didnt even check to see if the kids were okay unless they were physically injured.

If you have a question email the teacher. When these things happen, we normally talk about it for a few minutes after recess (generally a 5-10 min discussion), but I don’t email parents about it. If parents emailed me later on, I would respond.

Why not? Don't you think they would want to know?[/quote]
