ultramarina- you may have hit the nail on the head!!!
not only has my son stated to the teacher he is bored and complained that he wants to learn new stuff,
yes he is always late (getting going to school is huge struggle b/c he just doesn't want to go) and yes, he freq misses days.
i am careful to say he is always sick.
but yes, maybe the teacher is resentful? idk.
several kids left her class early on...
i should have done same!
lesson learned!

One can never consent to creep when
one feels an impulse to soar!
