Head injury

[kasmac]

AIBU to be annoyed that when my 7 year old has a head injury at school, I get a text informing me rather than a phone call! How do they know I even got the text - what if I didn't and missed signs of something being wrong as with head injuries they don't always present immediately. . This is the second time this has happened. And don't get me started on the day she came home with a dirty filthy knee, cut that had bleeding, and hadn't been cleaned and just a plaster stuck on! Is it just me or would you think this was unacceptable?

Text is fine IMO. Phones tell you if a text hasn’t sent. If the text sent ok, I they are entitled to assume you’ll see it. Calling parents for every head bump (and having to call over and over until the parent answers) would take up a huge amount of the nurse’s time.

I’d be annoyed about the dirty knee, but maybe they tried to clean it and dirt was lodged in it?

@minipie - I have sent messages to my husbands phone and hours later it arrives, like when he’s been home a while, for what reason I don’t know but it looks like sent at my end. Re the head injury, my sister had one and lucky mum knew as she tried to go for a nap and was concussed, so I guess that’s why this upsets me - they have literally phoned for almost nothing before!! It looked like there was no attempt to clean the wound, so I also asked DD what happened and she said I fell and they stuck a plaster on....did they clean it...no!
