Does anyone know the laws on protecting our children in school?
You need to find out if the kick to your son’s “privates” was an accident or an intentional assault. Either way, you can inform the principal that you feel the yard duty was in the wrong and should be chastised. You don’t want people watching your children that “don’t care” and neither do other parents! If the attack on your son was malicious, then you can ask the principal to take further actions against the child involved. This could be something like a formal apology letter or community service at the school (you know, helping to clean up the classrooms). Unfortunately, my 6-year-old stepson has gotten into some trouble. He hurt another child at school. Not only did he get punished at home, but he was suspended from the after care program at school. He got community service, and he had to write an apology letter to the boy and his parents. Make sure that you are asserting your rights as a parent. No one has the right to hurt your child. If they do, it is the school’s responsibility
