I don't know. I can only tell you what I would do in the situation with my own ds. I'd explain to him the teacher's expectations, praise him for his creative problem solving, commiserate with him over the lack of teacher understanding or appreciation for his creativeness, remind him again of her expectations and then let it go.
Without knowing what kind of relationship you have with the teacher, or the one your son has with the teacher, it's hard to to give advice on what to say to the teacher. We've been very lucky to have great teachers so I've never been in the position of having to go in and advocate.
This probably doesn't help.
