Injuries at school

When do you decide that enough is enough?  Three weeks in a row our little one came home badly bruised from incidents that happened at school and most of them unnoticed by those supposed to supervise.  Now, nearing end of the year, it seems that timing wouldn't be ideal to move schools.  So once again it was brought to the school's management's attention that it is completely unacceptable that these things literally happen weekly.

The school's concert is coming up soon and excitement is in the air.  This is one of the reasons making it difficult to move schools now.  We are nearing the end of the year and have therefore decided not to make a change until then.  Also, it is a big move for a little one to go from one school to another, so it might be easier on her if it happens after a school holiday.

I am not a paranoid person who thinks that children will never get hurt at school, especially if you have a 'busy' child, but surely at one point one realizes that the amount of injuries they get at school is not 'normal' nor acceptable.

In the meantime the hunt for a new school is on.  I have realized once again how important it is to get as much information about schools as possible before enrolling your child.  Although we had done this each time with different schools for our two little ones, it seems like it would be best to maybe get opinions from professional people dealing with these schools i.e. dance teachers, therapists, etc.  Although they might not say anything bad about specific schools, they might just tell you about schools that are good options to consider in their opinion.  Other parents who have kids in schools one might consider is also a valuable source of information.

For your own peace of mind it definitely makes sense to ask around as much as possible so you can make an informed decision.
