Nautigal I like your analogy and how well it helped communicate with your child and the school folks.
It does remind me a little of a link to an analogy about water and glasses from hoagies page, but I searched and could find it easily, but don't worry, your metaphor is doing a particular job and helping your particular child.
I was reading and thinking that some of what happens at school is that children learn to make their glasses bigger, and that part of what frustrates our kids at school is that those activities are usually quite dull, and developmentally not doing their job for our kids - sometimes not always. I'd love to hear what your son thinks about how his glass gets bigger and which school activities help other kids glasses get bigger.
Smiles,
