DS came out of school today telling me that he got dog dirt on his trousers when he fell over on the playground at lunchtime.

Now I did not think it was dog shite as it looked like dried mud to me but when we got home he took them off and I smelled them and it was !!

Now he told a teacher at the time and she told him to go to the office to sort it (apparently she did not ask him where it was so it could be cleaned up before someone else fell in it ) but the lady at the office told him to go into the loo and wipe it off with tissue paper .

Now would you expect a 7 year old to be able to do this alone without spreading germs all over himself and the sink in the loo . At least they could have given him some antibac spray and watched while he did it and made sure he washed his hands throughly. They also did not tell him to change his trousers (he had some PE jogging bottoms he could have worn) so the germs were probably spread over the carpet when he sat down etc while wearing shitty trousers all afternoon.

The shite was on school premises (there is no way he went into school with it on) probably because the stupid arseholes with those little rat dogs do not seem to think they count as proper dogs and carry them into the school instead of tying them up outside. It is the schools responsibility to ensure the playground is free of shite IMO (and it was'nt cat shite as DS knows the difference as we have a cat).

AIBU to be furious and go off on one at the school tomorrow??

YANBU

Is it possible it was Fox Poo ? - my DCs get it in their playground.

Yeah i was going to say fox poo too , and that is the worst smell in the world ,makes dog poo just smell meaty !!

Disgusting! YANBU! You should march in there and start acting veeerrrry unreasonable.

And where was the shool nurse or wotsits? They're so hands off these days. Should definately have given him a new pair of trousers. Imagine the poo on the classroom carpet! They obviously, like you thought it was mud and didn't bother to look. Your poor DC being covered in shite all day

Even if it was fox poo the school should have cleaned it up as soon as it was drawn to their attention.

Jamieandhismagictorch · 25/11/2009 14:48

Yes, I agree. Just saying that it might not have been someone letting their dog poo in the playground

Update - sent a letter to the Head with a copy to DSs teacher regarding this on Weds 25th November and have not had a reply to date (almost 2 weeks later) or even an acknowledgement .

My blood boils when I think of the arrogance that they cannot even reply with an ackowledgement of my concerns to what I think is a perfectly valid complaint. Shall I just leave it or should I complain to the Governors??

You should certainly have recieved an acknowledgement of receipt of your letter even if it only contained a promise to 'look into' your complaint. I would be inclined to write again enclosing a copy of your first letter (if you have one) asking for a reply and setting a date by which you wish to receive it. If this doesn't work then yes, go to the Govenors.
