Something similar happened to us. DS was given early entrance in K at his private school. That teacher told him he wouldn't go to first grade this year because it would be "too hard". He is in the process of being accelerated to first grade right now. We ended up just telling him straight out that his old K teacher was wrong because she doesn't know much about his new school and that the principal was placing him in first grade because it was the right class for him.
I could have strangled that teacher... I'm sure you know what I mean.
