After first grade many children begin to see school as a chore. Something their parents make them do. They would much rather be at home. When school is new and they are in love with shool. School becomes mundane and routine. School is not fun anymore.
A few children see school as somewhere they can have fun and socialize with their friends. They complain about how unfair a teacher is or what student hooked up with who or which students are expecting a baby. Do not looked shocked almost every talk show has had that. MTV even made a whole show. They will probably come out with '13 and Pregnant' at some point. Occassionally they get a teacher that makes learning exciting and new. This makes school bearable.
Some children are nerds and love school for the sake of learning something new. Do not get mad that I am insulting your child because I was one of those children. I even had tape on my glasses at one point.
School needs to be somewhere that is entertaining. It is difficult to keep their interest. For many students there is nothing to make school interesting.
