Ok I want honest opinions (OP you are a twat and in the wrong are fine ).
I had a phone call after school today from DS teacher regarding an incident yesterday.
DS and some other children were playing tag (although more likely the grab each others coats swinging them round kind of tag). Some girls were playing too. DS caught one girl and pushed/pulled her to the ground (there's no evidence today she wasn't playing along doing the same thing to the boys). The girl then says that DS and 3 other boys kicked her whilst she was on the floor. DS admits pulling her to the ground but says he didn't kick her.
All 4 boys have lost their lunchtimes today and tomorrow and then breaktime for the next two days.
I have a few problems with this
- She was playing along fine, if it was my DD I'd be telling her not to play tag with the boys if she can't suck it up if they get a bit rough.
- DS swears blind he didn't kick her
- Nobody else saw the kicking, theres no evidence other than this girls report to her mother.
- Where were the playground staff?
- I can't see that keeping 4 boisterous 5 yr old boys in all day is going to help anyone.
I've made DS write the girl a card saying sorry for pulling her over.
Am I being a job for thinking this is poorly handled and just point the finger at the rough naughty boys?
