Sorry, just feel really angry about this. DD (6yrs) fell badly on way to school this morning. Ended up with cuts and grazes to her hands, both knees, shins and bruised chin. Poor little thing was very upset and worried that she had broken her glasses. As we were closer to the school than anywhere else we continued down the road, but on ariving at the gate teacher/playground asst on duty saw DD in floods of tears with blood running down legs and said for her to go to the first aid room. I asked if I should/could go with her and was told "NO" and DD was told to say "Bye to Mum, you'll see her at home time" and she was lead away by an older child. I can understand security and all that but surely there can be common sense exceptions.

Very insensitive way to handle the situation on the part of the teacher...

I know she will be fine, maybe a little tlc when she comes home won't go a miss. Just think it was very harsh considering the state she was in.

What a bitch.
I would phone and complain!

Oh that sounds harsh

I would be angry too. Could you phone the school and check how she is now?

I totally agree with you. She will probably be fine, patched up by a teacher and will enjoy her day. You however, will spend the entire day worrying about her.

Sometimes common sense is just too difficult for people, isn't it!
