I picked my 9yo son up from school today and he promptly burst into tears when he saw me.
He was due on a nature walk with school this morning, he went in today with the permission slip, wellies and drink as requested.
It turns out he wasnt allowed to go on the walk- the reason? I hadnt crossed out on the permission slip I do/do not give permission.
When I enquired as to why I wasnt contacted (its not as though they had to go delving through files for my number- it was written on the permission slip) the secretary said that due to the number of people who either hadnt sent the slip back or not crossed out the relevant section the head had said it wasnt feasible to contact all those parents for permission.
There were 10 slips.
AIBU to be fuming with the HT?
While I can see that I didnt cross out the relevant part, surely the fact that he had wellies etc with him says something?
And it was 10 slips- wasnt exactly going to involve hours of phoning.
I cried my eyes out in the car- it seems so unfair.
