I hear a lot of negativity surrounding Kindy teaching positions. Does anyone have any insight as to why it's so widely griped about?

It's not necessarily worse, just different.
It takes a somewhat different skill from teaching other age groups.
I had difficulty at first, but after a while, I got the knack of it.
In fact, I have progressed from asking for advice to offering advice.
On the other hand, I have been fired from countless jobs because I have NOT gotten the knack of teaching middle school.
If you are interested, read some of the 35 help-I-have-to-teach-kindergarten threads which have been posted since I started keeping count:

35 34 33 32 31
30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21
20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11
10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

The next time someone asks a question about kindergarten,
this will become thread number 36!
