I have a friend that works as a pre-k teacher for a school system. She told me this year that she has been hit, kicked, spat on, hair pulled, chairs thrown at her.... all in the first six weeks. This is with three to five year olds. They aren't allowed to do ANYTHING but clear the room so the kid can trash it.
What needs to happen is the school districts need to be sued to oblivion when the teachers and other kids are hurt. They need to develop methods of getting those kids gone really quickly. Once the public knows that their kid won't get free school if he assaults the others THEN it will start trickling down to day care.
That's NOT the way it is here! Kids will be sent to the office and sent home for that! Violence is not tolerated at our school, especially against the teacher!
