  More than 2,000 four- and five-year-olds were excluded from school last year for committing acts of violence or disrupting lessons, according to figures published today.
  
  The statistics add to growing evidence of poor and often violent behaviour creeping into the primary school classroom, with 89 children being excluded each day across the country as a result of assaults on either staff or other pupils.
  
  Teachers' leaders blamed parents for failing to bring their children to school ready to learn, and allowing them access to violent computer games.
  
  The figures, published by the Department for Education, show that 670 four-year-olds were excluded at least once in the school year 2010-11. In the case of five-year-olds, the figure was 1,470. Many of them were excluded at least twice over the course of the school year.
  
  Boys were far more likely to be excluded than girls, the figures showed - 590 of the four-year-olds were boys, compared with just 80 girls.
