To think that the teacher should have told me about DDs injury?

[ClawHandsIfYouBelieveInFreaks]

DD is 6. I picked her up from school and she came out with a red spot on her cheek like a scrape and a fat lip.

The HT was supervising the DC leaving that day and she looked busy so I didn't want to ask her about it so I just asked DD.

She said she fell heavily in the playground during their last break and her tooth was bleeding.

It was and it was looser than before (already a bit loose due to being ready to fall out probs)

Within half an hour the lip was fat and bruising was showing on her face and upper lip.

So the injury must have been literally just sustained when I collected her...I suppose last break ends just before they leave.

Anyway....DD said she told the playtime supervisor and her friends went with her....and the supervisor just told her to go and get some tissue.

Shouldn't she have written it down in an accident book or told me DD had had a head injury?

I am not a fussy person about the DC hurting themselve...quite the opposite...but this seems a bit negligent?

Claw the supervisor obviously misjudged it and for that reason I think it would be fine for you to mention it to the teacher. I'm guessing you can still see the mark on your DD's cheek today so it will be apparent that it needed more than a bit of tissue paper. It's worth a chat to see how much they rely on DC's explanations of events, and how much they actually try to determine the extent of the injury.

Yes...mark still there and bruise and swellng. I hope she does not have any dental issues either!
