My daughter (reception age) came home from school with one of her pigtails cut off. The teacher told me she had found it on the floor and traced it back to my daughter (she was the only one with half her hair missing). The teacher couldnt explain what happened and didnt know if my daughter had cut it off herself or if someone else had done it.
My daughters hair is thick and so cutting of an entire pigtail takes a sharp scissors!.
I didnt say anything at the time because I dont like reacting in the spur of the moment and I was quite upset to see her hair hacked off.
I have tried asking her what happened but she just curls up in a ball on the floor and makes whining noises which no matter how nicely I try she wont stop doing so I gave up.
Would I be unreasonable to question this
why was my daughter alone with something sharp enough to cut her pigtail straight off?
Is it unreasonable for me to have expected the teacher to have at least have been close enough to see what happened even if not to stop it (i know how fast 5 year olds can move!)
I am taking her to the hairdresser tomorrow but im not sure what they can really do to improve it
