Im livid.
DTeen came home Friday and said he was pulled out of class and asked in the corridor, 'Are you part of Isis' amongst other questions. Apparently the whole class that was in an IT lesson was questioned like this.
My DP went to the school on Monday and advised them that we understand, they have to investigate these things, that we would be supportive of them. However DID not appreciate an investigation (teachers words)carried out without parental awareness beforehand and certainly not to be pulling out of class and in a corridor asking inflammatory questions like that without anyone else being present.
Had we been notified this was going to happen, we could have checked our own computers and worked with the school.
The school agreed they may have gone about it in the wrong way and would keep us informed. I got a call and missed it - voicemail left. One sentence - it is school and we will be speaking to your DTeen again. End. I got home and told by DS that hes been told by the teacher that they've narrowed it to possible three people and that they will be involving police.
We haven't been told what was downloaded, what the schools policy and their protocol is in matters were things are downloaded that shouldn't be.
I want to go to the school and throttle someone. This feels so serious! and yet its being handled in a lax way. I could be wrong. But they are certainly not keeping us in the loop.
Do schools have protocols to follow in instances such as this, if so is it right they don't involve parents?
