Oh my! Just echoing the "toxic" comments. I have a child who was damaged by a toxic school situation in K. Over a year later and my highly verbal talkative DS is only beginning to tell me what happened to him. We are still dealing with crippling anxiety issues and PTSD like symptoms.

What your child shared may be only a part of what he is dealing with in under the authority of a teacher like that. We did move our DS mid-year in K and it was a very good choice to do so. I worried about how hard it would be to leave his good friends (and mine) as we had connected so well with those at the old school. We have never looked back.
