He has never expressed this before. School starts in a week. I don't even know how to respond to him.

My knee jerk reaction, if it was one of my kids, would be to say "You're right!" ...and then something like: "Everyone has strengths, and one of your strengths is being clever." smile

Then I'd draw them into more conversation, like why do you feel that way, what parts are boring, what can I do to help, etc. etc.
