My 9yr old son was pushed off a climbing wall in the playground at school last week. He fell from about 6' up and hit his head on one of those floating plastic step things and ended up with a concussion, very lucky he didn't break his neck. This was in outdoor class at the end of the day so instead of taking my son to the office to get looked at the teacher just asked if he thought he could take the bus. By the time he got home he had short term memory loss, couldn't control his emotions and was a complete space cadet.
My wife and I are absolutely livid that he got sent home that day and the school is downplaying it as "not a big deal" and "they'll deal with it" and are just giving us the run around with platitudes, principal isn't able to make any time to meet with us and yada yada. We've complained about this kid before and we already put in the request to move schools next year, before this incident, because of this ####ing kid. For all the bullying rhetoric we hear throughout the year you would think there would be some avenues for my kid to be able to be safe at school.
Complete joke.
