My first thought was, "Oh how inconsiderate of you to have a child that doesn't conform to sitting idly by and not try to express himself!"
I understand to a point that they are probably concerned about other parents getting upset, pulling their kid (equals loss of income) or leading to legal issues (you weren't watching my kid close enough...blah blah blah). When I used to work in daycare, they actually had protocol to deal with such issues. But to jump the bandwagon by pushing the problem onto a medical/physical issue is just plain wrong and irritating. They should find other distractions for him...EVERY parenting article I've read suggests this FIRST for biters, climbers and kids who won't listen/or can't express their frustrations properly just yet.
You'd think in a place that deals with so many kids, they would have realized that each kid is different in their own way. It's a shame they don't want to try to work with him to help him grow, instead, they want to push it off on something else.
Sorry hon, I know this constant battle with daycare is making you go crazy! *hug* You've probably already checked, but is there any other daycare in town that gives the same high level of academics, but perhaps have better interaction with the kids in their charge? (It's sad that, generally, there would have to be a choice between those two things.)
