If you knew me, you'd be able to tell from the way I posted that this is based on my own personal experience.

I wasn't trying to be snippy, and I apologize if I misread your tone. It's just that what you posted is contrary to what I've experienced so far as a parent (granted, my daughter is only 2-1/2). If she's injured at school I have to sign a form saying I've been informed of the incident, but that's it. They have my authorization to take her to an ER if it's medically necessary, but that hasn't happened as yet (knock wood). I'd assume, though, that laws varied by location.
