We ran into this same problem just before DS's midyear skip from 5th into 6th. Teacher thought he was lazy and ungrateful because he wasn't 'lapping up' the 'extra challenge' problems she left out for the academically strong kids. Problem was that from my son's perspective the 'extra challenge' problems were 'old and boring' even though they were completely appropriate for the other strong learners in his classroom.

It's frustrating, but I took my son's lack of excitement with school as a sign that he had just 'given up' on academics being nurturing.
