Head injury in school

If your child had a head injury in school, would you expect the teacher to ask how she has been on return eg was hospital trip needed, did she have concussion? For their own records at very least.
child was sent home following the incident immediately and had 2 days off school following this and still has bad bruising across head and eyes.

A little bump on the head, no, what you’re describing then yes.

Interesting!! I thought for bad injuries they were required to fill it out on their paperwork of the incident if a hospital trip was required or not!

Well yes but I guess we don’t know what else the teacher has going on and how the concussion was caused.

I would not expect this.

If there was anything the school should know I would expect the parent to inform them on the child’s return.
