I couldn't agree more, kidlove. My son started kindergarten last year and kept coming home talking about hitting, kicking, etc....and HATING school. The teacher gave me the whole "that's how boys learn" so I went to the principal and got the same story! My son was 6 (we start K late in Quebec and his birthday was 5 days past deadline, so he started REALLY late) knew a whole lot and had never rough played in his life.....he has since switched schools!
I hate rough play!
