Dd had an accident at school yesterday. She was hit on the head with a toy and it split the skin, bled a lot and we ended up in minor injuries. It isn't a big cut but they couldn't glue it and so it opened up again in the night.
I kept her off today as it is still weeping, and I would prefer it to have a scab on before she goes back in (year 1, reception and nursery in together so lots of sand etc that could get in it) and school said that was fine.
Her father has hit the roof, 1. For picking her up from school early yesterday (school called me and asked me to pick her up immediately), and 2. For keeping her off today. He cannot believe that it hasn't scabbed over yet and she is in danger of "being kicked out of school for attendance". He also wants a copy of the accident form today because he cancelled his job centre appointment when I called him and will get sanctioned without it apparently (he didn't come to see her, just cancelled his appointment).
Am currently boiling with rage after the phonecall so probably am BU. Would you keep your child off in this situation?
