It is time his teachers etc joined the rest of us in the 21st century. There is no excuse for holding back a child academically because he doesn't fit into the teacher's little mould of how he should feel, think and socialise. It may be that the other kids need a few more years to catch up with him rather than the other way round as the teacher is claiming.
