I would request, in writing (not phone or email) that your child be evaluated for academic readiness level and 'rage.'
Also, Request a chance to sit in your child's classroom so you can better understand what the teacher is seeing. Request a chance to sit and quietly observe the 1st and 2nd grade teachers, to see if you see any signs of 'intelligent life in the universe.'
I think that the real question here is: 'How many hours of misery a day is ok for my kid?' If you have no options, then you have no options, but it's very sad. One approach is to wait for things to get worse, and then the school may be more willing to do an evaluation. Bad grades in kindy aren't a long term problem, but a teacher who says mean things about your kid in the teacher's lounge is.
