Not making friends/trouble with routine

I remember when ds was in pre-k when he was 4. There were still some kids that did parallel play rather than actually playing together. Also, some kids do much better playing one-on-one than in a group. And my ds liked adults better than kids at that age because he could understand them (some kids don't speak that clearly), they responded more predictably (didn't grab toys, hit, or otherwise rebuff him), and they were better at cooperating (doing what he told them, lol). 4 1/2 is still SO young. She wouldn't have even been in school or doing anything structured when I was a kid.

The stuff about not liking to change tasks? That's such a great thing that she can focus on something for a long period, a longer period than the teachers decide the activity should take. I'm guessing the real problem is she isn't cooperating with their dictating that the activity is done. Sure that's a problem in a typical school setting but it doesn't mean there is anything wrong with your dd. It would be a positive trait in another setting. It's like they are complaining her attention span isn't short enough, ya know?

It is possible another school would be better for her. Maybe Montessori... Don't know if that's a feasible option. But really, she is only 4...
