[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Today I asked my son how this specific class went.  He told me that during an assignment he told the teacher he didn't understand one of the questions.  He said the teacher responded "you would understand it if you had been paying attention."

I then asked my son if the teacher helped him to understand and he said no, he figured it out himself.

I asked him about his behavior in the class and if he was not payong attention. He was very adament that he was paying attention and did everything he was supposed to.  I told him to be extra careful about his behavior in the class tomorrow and then at the end of the class to check in with the teacher.  Since my son swears he has no idea why the teacher has said he does not pay attention I told him that when he checks in with the teacher after class to ask for specific examples if the teacher has anything negative to say about his performance or participation in the class.[/quote]

Your son is being mocked. I hate it when people have an impression and are not open minded enough to try to see when a kid is trying his hardest. Document it. [/quote]

Kind of agree with this - not mocked necessarily, but teacher seems annoyed with him. And think the teacher is giving the free pass now just to shut you both up.  If DS isn't paying attention (as her earlier comments to him indicate), she should be up front with you.  If he is, then she needs to cut the passive-aggressive crap.  I would document, continue to monitor the situation and maybe bring in the team leader/VP to get more concrete help on what needs to improve if DS keeps getting the same feedback and grades don't improve.
