Had an email to all parents today, saying that if your child is unwell.. they are still not allowed to call their parents to let them know. I'm contemplating a strongly worded response..

You know the school is responsible for them while their in the premises, right?
Yes.. but if my child is unwell and feels like they want to talk to a parent.. and they have the means to do so.. I do not feel the school has the right to stop them.. especially if it might comfort the child.
The right to stop them? Of course not. They have the obligation of providing a telephone for it to happen. You're only making up excuses.
