A child spat in my daughters face

[Helplorditsahardlife]

My friend who normally pick my kids up from.sch told me there was an incident at sch today as she was pulled aside by her class teacher and told that while the kids were on the queue waiting for their lunch, my 4+ year old daughter was waiting quietly for her turn when the boy behind her moved in front of her and spat in her face totally unprovoked. Thankfully, a member of staff saw what happened and reported it to the class teacher & she asked the boy to apologise and he was excluded from class for the rest of the day. I feel so sad and almost in tears as I was told my daughter didn't do anything b4 or b4 the incident. She wouldn't have done anything after she was spat at as she didn't really understand what happened and she is a quiet girl. I called the Sch to say was not happy with what happened etc and I was told to speak to the teacher & I have decided to cancel my appointment tomorrow morning and go to the Sch instead to see the teacher. I am not sure what more they could have done as they are kids but I am wondering if anyone can advise on this issue pls. Is the day's exclusion enough? I am worried other kids Dont start picking on my girl as she is very quiet.

Well if he's 4 or even a little bit older. I would say being made to apologise and a day's exclusion is enough. A day's exclusion would be a very big deal at that age. What more would you want done? Perhaps to speak to the parents?
I understand how horrified you are. That would be a terrible thing to happen to your child. I think the school did the appropriate thing in terms of discipline. I'd just want to know how the parents plan to prevent him behaving like that again. The fact he's spitting at people at that age makes me think they could be the source of the problem.

School will of spoken to the boys parents and if need be will offer support for the family and child.

Id be upset if it was my DD too. But as it was a one off incident i wouldnt get too upset about it. If it continues then there is definetly an issue,

And was it malicious or was it silly? Because there is also a difference

My DD5 had a terrible day at school yesterday, she had pushed someone over & scratched a boy who had ruined her picture. The teacher spoke to me and DD is on firm instructions from me to find the children today and apologise. She knows full well she isnt to hurt people. The teacher said she was shocked as DD isnt usually like that and is very good at using her words. She does have impacted earwax which is making her grumpy so i wondered if that played a part

I would be very upset if it was my DD so do understand how you feel but if it was just a one off then i would try to move past it, school will definetly be speaking to the parents and putting support in place if this is an ongoing issue with the boy
