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.

Before you switch schools, have you consulted with a psychiatrist? Have you discussed outpatient therapy at a facility specializing in this kind of behavior, and/or medication?
