Yes, the K readiness class has been counterproductive to say the least but I'm with HM on this. I'll make her earn her way out. If you pull her out because she escalated, next time she wants to get out of something, she'll think defiance, aggression, and acting crazy would do the trick and she might keep on pushing until she or someone else gets hurt.
Based on what you've shared here, her behaviors do not sound like a cry for help to me. If they did, I'd say pull her out immediately but honestly, she sounds very much in control.
What is interesting is that your DD seems highly capable of meeting behavioral expectations in all contexts; she was happy at her previous preschool for a little while and she lasted six months (?) in this K readiness class before she deteriorated. Any clues to what the trigger(s) might have been?
