I realise this situation is potentially my fault. I shouldn't have sent her in.
DD is a well behaved, polite student. She is in Yr 10. Has never had a detention, etc.
Our family dog wasn't very well. He had been here since DD was 4. He is very much loved. They were extremely close (she does agility competitions, etc. with him).
I said I'd text her to let her know how he got on at the vets (he had to stay in for testing, but I was collecting him).
She skipped the lesson which is the time I was collecting him (she has never done this before). Anyway, she was found and taken to Head of Years, but they were either teaching or in a meeting with the pastoral staff, so she was sent to the head.
He said to her that it "was a stupid reason to miss a lesson and really not important enough". This has been confirmed (got a phone call).
Anyway, our much loved boy was PTS. She wasn't aware of this yet and I explained on the phone that it's best he doesn't mention it, but I said I'd come and get her because she was clearly going to be sit waiting for the news and I told her I would let her know. PE was last lesson and so it wasn't the end of the world. This is when he said it would be a ridiculous reason to come and collect a 15 year old. He really was quite snappy. DD was sitting in the office at this point and it was all a bit of a mess tbh.
AIBU? Apart from the other bits that I admit were my fault.

To think headteacher was slightly insensitive?
