[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would tell my kid, "You worry about YOURSELF" stop worrying about what others are doing, you can't control your surroundings and if you need a perfect environment to do well you are never going to get that.

Do your work, worry about yourself and stop paying attention to the other kids.

"But the kid is loud"
Worry about yourself.
"But the kid breaks things"
Worry about yourself
"but the kids eats his bugger"
Worry about yourself
"But he burps his alphabet"
Okay, that one is cool, ask for lessons on the playground.[/quote]

I don't think you are understanding the other kid is attacking classmates, screaming, and smashing things. It is hard for a 5 year old to start kindergarten and witness that.  Would you be able to work if you had someone attacking coworkers, smashing things, and screaming around you? Would you dread going to the office! What if your boss said in response to your complaints, "worry about yourself". [/quote]

Screaming and smashing...yes... "Worry about yourself"

Hitting (I doubt there is an "attack" unless he has forces)

I say....
1. Walk away.
2. Say, you may not play with me if you hit me.
3. Tell the teacher.

If one of that works...
4. I go see the teacher and ask for advice... Don't accuse or assume I have he correct story.
5. (And it has gotten to this twice ) defend yourself.

Kids need to learn to navigate this world or they will be eaten alive in middle school.

The idea that is this is highly unusual is silly. Kids do still hit in K. They cry, they yell  they call out, they are physical... This is actually pretty normal.

For all 3 of my kids this happened in their classroom. It is not PC to teacher your kids to worry about themselves... They need to learn what THEY can do, they can not change other people... That is a fact not PC.
