If my mom or dad had ever reacted like that, I might have actually done it. I was always a tough, mentally and physically, and I never understood people would want me to go to the teacher.

While if I was in your shoes, my first reaction would probably be to tell my daughter to kick his arse! However, after I calmed down a bit I think that it's not necessarily the right approach in this situation. Mainly because if someone hits you, and you hit them back, then you'll both be punished in a school setting equally. I am sure that in preschool hitting is not as serious of an offense, but in my daughter's elementary school anyone who is caught physically fighting is suspended.
