Oh, MonetFan, that makes me so sad for your son.
Thanks HK. Thankfully he is now fully recovered and old enough to understand that the wrong teacher can mean a really bad year if you let it but that there are a few ways around it. Especially if your mom is kind of a subversive!
I think your daughter and a number of children of other posters have had it far worse, so I'm glad this and his constant boredom is the worst we've seen so far. Unlike some of your kids, other than perhaps his kindy teacher (who was very subtle about it and/or him too young to completely notice), he's not seen any outright hostility like some of your children.
