Daughter Hit In The Face At School

[boona]

Hi all, please can anyone help me to word an email for school? My daughter tried to push a boy down the slide at school. No acceptable and she has been told off but the boy who she tried to push turned around and smacked her in the face so hard that he bust her lip and the whole side of her face was hurting. When my daughter was sat with an ice pack the head teacher asked what had happened. My daughter told her and the head teacher raised her eyebrows and said she shouldn't have tried to push him. I want to email the school to make sure the boy has been spoken to as I do not believe that his action was justified and that just because my daughter was wrong does not mean that his behaviour was acceptable.

Twisting things? Seems calico is twisting the situation to me her hitting me instead of a 10 year old boy hitting boonas daughter, so i'll stick up for myself thank you Ummm, or would you like me to talk about punching you in the face? No bang out of order isn't it.

[Calicogirl]

Nah I'm okay ta Spath, be careful your inner idiot is showing- don't get triggered ;-)

[spathiphyllum]

Antagonistic comment with no relevance to the thread or discussion at hand. Awesome.

[ummmm]

You can tell me you'd punch me in the face as much as you want. Idiot!

[spathiphyllum]

I wouldn't want to .. why would I? I'm not a sociopath.

Of course the boy's action wasn't justified, Boona - but nor was your daughter's behaviour. You've said that what she did wasn't acceptable - but it was also very dangerous and could have resulted in a very nasty accident. I hope you've made sure she knows that? The boy must have got a very nasty fright and lashed out. Like you, I'd want it confirmed that the boy had been 'spoken to' - and if I were the boy's mother, I'd want it confirmed that the girl, your daughter, had also been spoken to.

Spath you called me dangerous to society, you utter loon, what possible relevance does that have to this thread.
I've asked Boona for more info and i'm awaiting that before any determination is made, this is all hypothetical for goodness sakes.

[Calicogirl]

Oh sociopath now!

[spathiphyllum]

i called the ideology dangerous. Maybe re-read the thread. You'll see how violent you come across.

[Calicogirl]

Oh Spath stop being such a snowflake, I'm one of the leas violent people you'll ever meet, but I am even handed, I won't be bullied either, that was my point about the little boy.

[ummmm]

She is not coming across as violent!

[ummmm]

He's on the wind-up!

[Calicogirl]

Thanks Ummm, it's like the Twilight Zone here :/

[spathiphyllum]

It must be a matter of perspective. As she's not saying she's going to hit you in the face I can see why you think that. Due to saying she could hit me in the face, i'm sure you'll understand how i see it differently.

It's a principle of debate Calico. Not being offended.

[spathiphyllum]

Or did you say those comments in jest?

//What Maggie, being hit in the face is rough and tumble? //
Aye it is where mags is fae, wild bandit country there and the kids are hardy as ****

Kids fight. It happens.

a ten year old boy falling down a slide, or even off the side of it, would result in some tears. Apart from that, it would bounce right back up onto its feet. I think a little boy punching a little girl in the face is something to be more concerned about as he will take that attitude everywhere with him. The girl may be inpatient but the boy is violent. Common assault vs abh.

Or a gardener I would wager.
You are sometimes a tad mad, spath...and this is one of those times.
You haven't helped the OP-er despite the weird best answer.

[Calicogirl]

Spath you can tell me there are time you would happily smack me in the face and I wouldn't bat an eyelid, because it's all hypothetical, can you not understand that? you would have to do a very specific thing for that to happen and so would I, and those things are never happening, because it's hypothetical. It;s not wrong, or scary or worrying, it's just a scenario.
