*And* my son told me that when he told the teacher that the books were boring she responded by saying, "if he was bored to was because he was too lazy to make something good out of it."
I've experienced this, too, though not in these same words. My DD was told to "use her giftedness" to "think deeper" about the subject/assignment/whatever.
Which is basically a way of putting the responsibility on the 6yo child, rather than on the adult educator, where it belongs.
This is another sign that your son's teacher has no idea what she's doing.
