More a wwy think? High school and injury reporting ...

[Theknacktoflying]

My son came back from school today (Yr7) with two burns and a red mark on his thumb.
Asking him, it happened when he was doing cooking in class and burnt himself when taking his scones out of the oven. The assistant made him run it under cold water and seemed to think that no other treatment was necessary or any documentation taken of the accident.

Am I being ‘one of those parents’ and would have just liked a note or heads-up to the fact that he was injured at school and what they did?

Coming from a place where I was a first aider during lunchtimes at a primary school and we had to document EVERYTHING!!

Yes, ywbu and one of 'those parents'.

By y7 your child could reasonably be expected to tell you about any accidents himself.

If my accident prone DD1 had come home with a note every time she injured herself in tech or PE I'd have got about 1 note per week!

It's just a minor burn , correct treatment was given.

Surely the whole point of notes home or teachers telling you is because primary school kids arentnthe best at telling parents they bumped themselves?

Your son is old enough to tell you

I have no idea how old year 7 is. Can you tell us the child's age?

need Y7 is 11/12.

Yr7 would be at least 11, probably 12 by this point in the year.
I would say YAprobablyBU, although understandable given you work in a primary school where things are very different. Only exception being if the injury was actually more serious, and needed medical treatment, in that case you should have been called to collect dc.

YABU. He's in year 7. That makes him nearly 12 years old at the very youngest?

More than old enough to mention it to you himself.

The assistant made him run it under cold water and seemed to think that no other treatment was necessary

Do you think other treatment should have been administered?

At 11/12 I would fully expect my DC to tell me about this without school intervention.

Thanks to the PP's who mentioned age.

Bless you OP. I'm just picturing a twelve year old handing a note over silently, instead of just,...speaking

He's your eldest, isn“t he?

He has a minor injury and he has told you what has happened and what treatment was given.

Thanks all .... he is my youngest and has always been the one in the wars ...
