LOL! Ya' think?
Maybe he's telling you he needs to self-direct more than he has been?
I generally say that every subject must be covered, but how it gets covered is up to us. (I don't say that they all have to be covered every day either. I think there should be some flexibility there.) So if "no school" is the line he takes, my response would be to say that he can learn at home or he can learn at public school, but school is his job. Period. However, if he has suggestions about HOW to do school, then I'm all for it. It is HIS education and he is the best person to help you decide how best to teach him.
I'd toss it back to him. Make him responsible for his own education. If he helps ID the problem and helps solve it, he'll be a lot more invested in making the solution work.
