I can understand what you are saying. My older child had a bad kG teacher many years ago. Unrealistic expectations for the whole class, a very no-fun classroom. A very punitive style of consequences. This was our first child and the school didn't really allow parents in the classroom so we didn't know what was happening until the year was over. I still get sad when Facebook shows me pictures of the past and I see my kid on the first day of KG. They look so young and hopeful but I know what was waiting for them in KG.

But here's the thing. I talked about being sad about his KG experience when they were 4th and he really didn't remember the bad teacher. He remembers his big Christmas present that year, sledding on the big hill for the first time, etc. His mind kept the good and unconsciously dismissed the bad. I guess if he can do that I can too. Your kid probably has good memories of last year and long term they will be okay (I know that is not true of everyone but in your OP, it seems like your child is okay.)
Good luck.[/quote]
