dd came home from school yesterday and told me that a boy in her yr 1 class punched her in the face when they were lining up after morning break. dd told the teacher and she spoke to the boy who had hit her but he denied it and blamed another boy, but dd insisted to the teacher that it was him. dd's account was full of detail about who said what and that the teacher had told the boy concerned that she was fed up with him as this was the second person he had hurt that day that i have no reason to doubt that she is telling the truth.
i spoke to her teacher this morning and she maintained that dd had been upset but hadn't named the boy who had punched her, then she said they had agreed it had been an accident. Her teacher did say that they are aware there is a problem and they are dealing with it.
there have been loads of incidents with this boy in dd's class with different children and complaints have been made by several parents to the school about his behaviour. I am aware that anything my dd tells me is in essence secondhand but she is not a liar.
i feel that i should do more about this but don't know what to do, what would you do?
