DD5 is attending a pretty good pre-k program. Recently, he's been telling people that he likes his school but they don't teach him anything he doesn't know. This came up multiple times over the winter break when people ask him about school.

He also expressed some concerns about being seen as too different from his classmates so he doesn't want to ask for more challenging work (which they say they'll give him if he asks).

We wrote a letter to the teachers about this and to see what can be done. The initial response we got said they'd follow up with us but that he seems happy at school with them.

I'm not sure how to read this situation. My son's 5 so his opinion on school today might not be the same opinion in 2 weeks or a 2 months. Plus he sometimes changes what he tells us to try and get a favorable, to him, result.

Are there any things I can ask the teachers to get a better grasp of what's going on?
