Thanks for the update - I was wondering how things were going.

I would definitely talk to the teacher about DS feeling bad that the kids are making fun of him. I think that the teacher will want to know, and expect you to mention it.

When are they going to pressure you to commit to next year? Yuck!

I would stall on that if at all possible. If he is learning new information and skills then he will be happy enough - if he isn't then he won't.
