At least that school disciplines! Imagine dealing with that at a public school where you can't touch the kids!? That is a shame.

But I do disagree on expelling him. Maybe I am especially sensitive because of what my son went through. He went to a private school during preschool. He was never following directions, never listening, and was always hurting kids. They wanted to expel him. I was at wits end. They treated me like I was a horrible parent because of the way he was behaving. At one point, they even called Child Protective Service on me. Well, after 3 years of this and 2 schools, we found out that he was partially deaf in both ears and he had ADHD. After his surgury on his ears, his behavior changed drastically. We never saw a sign of aggression in him again.

There are so many factors that can cause a kid to misbehave. It can be really frustrating and difficult. But really, it isn't natural for a kid that age to be that aggressive, there is something physically or psychologically affecting him. We can't give up on children, especially that young. Expelling is giving up in my opinion. It can make the situation for the child even worse.

Oh, BTW...here in California the law is a 8:1 ratio in daycares. Twelve kids would require two teachers.
