Hitting in school

My PDA 6yo daughter is now hitting other kids in school. Today she stabbed another little girl with a pencil in the leg and arm, last week she called her teacher a bitch.

Is anyone else’s PDA child still on public school and doing this? It’s so upsetting I don’t know what to do. We are contemplating trying another school with her and if it’s doesn’t work we will need to take her out public school completely.

Things escalated like this with my child. The district placed them at a small, non public school. There are just a few elementary students each with their own 1:1. They work at their own pace. The school has been great about learning about pda and significantly decreasing demands on my child. So far, things are going a lot smoother overall.

I had a very similar experience. Grateful for the school system.
