Son hates preschool. I'm not sure about the teacher.

My 3 year old (4 in April) hates preschool. He goes 3x a week, 3 hours a day. There's 10 in his class, 2 teachers (primary and assistant). They do lots of fun activities, have had field trips, do parties, etc. But every day it's a fight to get him to go, clings to me when I go to leave. He's my oldest, and I'm a SAHM, so I know he's used to having a lot of time with me... but they are playing all day.Today was no different, except I made a comment about how he does this every day, and told him what I say each time- if in an hour you still want to come home, tell your teacher to call me and I will come get you (he's never had me get him). His teacher then said that he's the only one to do this in the morning, the only one who cries and complains when he's not the leader for the day, cries and complains when they have to clean up, and cries every time without fail when he loses a game and that he's a poor sport. Now, I know these things. I've explained to him everyone needs a turn to be the leader, and he should be excited to see what they all bring for show and tell. We play games at home all the time, and he loses, and I explain to him he can't win every time but should just have fun playing, etc. He cleans his room every day, picks up the living room, etc. I doubt he actually cries that much at school, but complaining/whining I can definitely believe. I literally don't know what else I can do. But my issue with the teacher is that she said those things with an annoyed attitude today in front of other parents dropping their kids off. He is 3, almost 4 years old- I don't find those behaviors to be that strange for his age (maybe I'm wrong), but I think it's rude and inappropriate to be speaking negatively about a child in front of that child, other children, and other parents.Are we over reacting? My husband and I are just ready to pull him from preschool at this point, but I feel like that will hurt him for next year-we are trying to do a (different) full day preschool next year, because he is really smart and catches on to things quickly. He's consistently above average in the assessments they give, and has better verbal skills than most 5-6 year olds. Any advice, harsh or not, is accepted at this point, because I just feel like I am out of options and don't know what to do. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2l3ayhz
