I'm a teacher. I have been teaching in an elementary school for over 20 years. In this day and age, I would never tell a child to keep something from their parents!!!
Since your child is very upset, I would write the teacher a note asking her to give you a call. (Don't write why you want to talk to her.) When she calls you can then get her side of the story. Maybe the teachers were told to use positive discipline, not negative, and she didn't want to get caught. (Not that what she said was right.). Or maybe the teacher was joking. (I once jokingly told 2nd graders that I was moving to Alaska. I had parents wishing me well at the end of the year.)
Judging by the teacher's explanation, you will know if you need to discuss this incident with the principal. Your child should not go to bed upset and not want to go to school.
Good luck.
