Kriston, maybe he's being teased about something? Sometimes they state they hate school when in fact, they just have a problem they don't know how to deal with (DS5.5 had a tummy ache... after much prying, I found out he didn't want to ride the bus with one of the boys b/c he wouldn't stop acting like a chicken to DS when DS asked him to stop).

I'm sure he's bored as well, which doesn't help. Maybe you can ask him what HE would say if he were you and wanted to talk to his teacher???
