I got a call from the school nurse a few minutes ago. Apparently, according to her, the children are not allowed to color their hair for holidays. She called because my son told her his sister was coming in later the same way and tell me not to color her. She had already taken in upon herself to wash him
. My dh called her back and asked her why we weren't notified before they even touched him and her response was "I probably should have called you first". Now here's the thing. My mother was a noon aide at the school before she got on the school board, and told me that kids frequently came in with colored hair, i.e. holidays, sports, etc....We checked her policy books and no where does it say anything about coloring hair. Now I will say I went overboard and their eyebrows, ears (wanted to look like leprechauns) and such had some color, but I would have agreed to have them wash their faces. We have had problems with his teacher before, telling him it's not her problem he didn't get a snack milk (she doesn't oversee it, just let's the kids help themselves) that we paid for. I am fuming that my poor son had to go through this, and his teacher better not be the one that sent him, because with everything else she has said/done to him I am going to file a harrassment claim. A quick background on my son. He is well above average, we had to push the teacher to get him into gifted and talented because she couldn't be bothered with the responsibility of reminding him to go. He is a sweetheart (I am not blind, but am told this by every teacher he had and any adult that interacts with him) and very well behaved. I just needed to vent
off to school.....
