WWYD??
My four year old had been in reception for a month now (was previously in nursery class with most of the children. There’s only 16 in the class and they have 2 teaching assistants and a teacher.
DD has been bitten 4 times since starting reception. All on her back/ shoulders. The one on her shoulder broke the skin through a cardigan and t shirt (which ended with a hospital visit). All bites have been from the same child (who is bitten numerous children in the class I’ve found out since talking to parents). This child has also cut all of the buttons off my daughter’s new coat and cut a chunk out of her hair. She currently hates school and I understand why but don’t know what to do?! Teachers keep saying they can’t supervise them all if the time but the ratios are quite good so I don’t see why not?!
ive requested meetings but they’ve all been rejected as they keep saying ‘children will be children’. It’s ridiculous and I feel so upset about it all. I’m reluctant to send her in at this point.
ive emailed the head teacher but waiting for a reply. Any advice??
