DC is 6. This week was stabbed with a pencil in leg, has likely permanent graphite tattoo. Had to go to A&E. Circumstances before are child is regularly naughty, name heard a lot. They had only been at school 15 mins as back from a trip, Consequences for child who did it are missed all breaks and playtime for one day. Telling off from deputy head. Initially this seemed ok and I trust teacher entirely but today I hear my nephew got the same consequences for pushing another child. Advice appreciated

I feel like maybe I have been a pushover :-(

Both children deliberately hurt another child so yes they should have the same consequences.

My dd got stabbed in the eye by a known bully. I informed his df at home time as wasn't sure he knew (the dm did but they were in a court battle and don't speak). He didn't know.
I got a rollicking off school for telling him!!
Dd had to see an eye specialist daily for ten days.
Bully continued in his merry way as usual..
The df was fuming school hadn't told him.

Ok; I guess what I meant was, as a parent who hadn’t had this happen before, do the consequences for the stabbing seem reasonable? Totally willing, and probably alleviated of guilt I didn’t stick up for dc more, if you say yes.

I don't think pushing someone is on the same scale as stabbing someone. I'd expect far more consequences than 1 days lost breaks.

Imo school are reluctant to label a dc as a nasty bloody bully.
It's admitting the school has a problem isn't it?
