I would say that maybe he doesn't want to be the YOUNG stand out one for knowing all the answers and if is called on, will answer, but.... why bother... he already knows it. My daughter says things like that...... I already know it, so why raise my hand. I let the other kids have a turn. Even when my daughter
"appears" to be day dreaming" she still knows the answer. They have an incredible ability to multi-task and do other things while appearing to not be paying attention, they still are.
I wouldn't worry about it. She said he knows it.
