Daughter Hit In The Face At School
109 Answers
Hi all, please can anyone help me to word an email for school? My daughter tried to push a boy down the slide at school. No acceptable and she has been told off but the boy who she tried to push turned around and smacked her in the face so hard that he bust her lip and the whole side of her face was hurting. When my daughter was sat with an ice pack the head teacher asked what had happened. My daughter told her and the head teacher raised her eyebrows and said she shouldn't have tried to push him. I want to email the school to make sure the boy has been spoken to as I do not believe that his action was justified and that just because my daughter was wrong does not mean that his behaviour was acceptable.

Neveracrossw ord i don't doubt that. I just feel the reaction from the boy was OTT and he should be in the same trouble as the girl. Yes she started it, but he escalated that. If it happened when they were older who knows what would have came from it. But kids need to learn, and saying "shouldn't have hit that boy then" isn't teaching anyone a lesson but suppressing a...

Of course the boy's action wasn't justified, Boona - but nor was your daughter's behaviour. You've said that what she did wasn't acceptable - but it was also very dangerous and could have resulted in a very nasty accident. I hope you've made sure she knows that? The boy must have got a very nasty fright and lashed out. Like you, I'd want it confirmed that the boy had been 'spoken to' - and if I were the boy's mother, I'd want it confirmed that the girl, your daughter, had also been spoken to.
a ten year old boy falling down a slide, or even off the side of it, would result in some tears. Apart from that, it would bounce right back up onto its feet. I think a little boy punching a little girl in the face is something to be more concerned about as he will take that attitude everywhere with him. The girl may be inpatient but the boy is violent. Common assault vs abh.
Spath you can tell me there are time you would happily smack me in the face and I wouldn't bat an eyelid, because it's all hypothetical, can you not understand that? you would have to do a very specific thing for that to happen and so would I, and those things are never happening, because it's hypothetical. It;s not wrong, or scary or worrying, it's just a scenario.
