I also wonder whether maybe your son's experience of presenting may be different from that of most others in the class, if they've had similar school experiences that are different from his? E.g. my DS's school gives children lots of practice at various kinds of speaking in public, way more than most other schools in the area. A single child from elsewhere might well suffer by comparison until they'd had a chance to catch up and banish the nerves.
