this...so this. 5 year olds are not pre-meditative criminals. They're just little shits (and that's even without bringing the whole ADHD crap into it) My friends 6 year old was suspended for sexual harassment because he hold a girl he loved her.
Reasons like this, is why I never finished my teaching degree.
The world has gone mad.

What happens at school and what parents hear from their kids doesnt necessarily represent the actual story.
Your daughter may have thought she was attacked but that may not actually be the case...
Please dont think I'm calling your little one a liar... but just wanted to provide a possible explanation.

Teachers will change their behaviours on the expectations of parents

L.M.F.A.O ( say it slowly, out loud, for dramatic effect )
Yes, the catholic schools have an exemplary record when acting on reports of abuse.

I'm not sure what happened when you were a kid, but i have found it helps resolve any issues at the school level.

Exactly, i'm too old school to deal with kids.
I understand they're following acts or whatever but I still dont understand why schools are required to ring a parent because of a scratch. If it's not life threatening or doesn't require hospitalisation, surely a note home would suffice after applying a bandaid for the boo boo.
then, if there is any underlying evil reason why said child has a boo boo, (ie; hit by a little shit with a stick) it is in writing and can be dealt with in an appropriate manner that won't force a parent to leave their place of work unnecessarily.
No doubt there will be some trendy illness that will excuse this young lout of his actions - because everyone is branded now and there's just no such thing as a naughty kid anymore
Again, the world has gone mad.

My kids have been to two public schools, both went to the same primary and high schools.
The primary school was spineless and I can confirm that the education department ( their bosses, as you say ) felt the school was best positioned to handle the matter. Great. So my advice to my son was to handle it how he felt it best handled, the school was hopeless. He got in trouble once, the kid(s) never picked on the target again. ( He stood up for a special needs kid who was being bullied. He got in the shit for doing so, the next time it happened he stood up for her again, he got in the shit again, the kid(s) doing it never did it again. Made me one proud Dad and I'd tell him to do it again if he felt it was the right thing to do )
The High School, on the other hand, has been outstanding. One little **** king hit my 14 year old daughter earlier this year. simply out of the blue, unprovoked, king hit, a badly bruised face, suspected but not confirmed hairline (due to teeth/jaw line in the x-ray) fracture and several days of headaches and the pshycological effects followed. I couldn't have been happier with the school or prouder of my daughter. She is presenting a talk to the whole school ( 700+ kids ) later this term on the impact of physical violence and bullying.
So, I'm not naive and every case has it's own set of circumstances, but to just say "CC in the bosses", please, don't be so naive.
