6 year old DS is arrogant and cries a lot when I drop at school :(

Hi Friends,

My DS is 6 years old. He is in Class 1 now.
He is a very smart and intelligent kid who has excelled in academics and other activities at school.

Recently(From April-for few days and then holidays and then by June) he has entered into full day schooling. 3 years of Kindergarten was half day. Then, during the initial months he cried and was perfectly alright. Infact he loved to go to school.

In April, for nearly 15 days he had full day schooling and there wasn't a single problem except for poor lunch habit. He would not take his lunch properly at school. He eats properly only if there's aloo or gobi fry.

Coming to the problem now. After summer holidays when classes resumed, for 2 days he was ok. Then 3rd day while dropping he started crying loud that he would stay at home that day alone. I consoled and asked him , why suddenly he wants to stay at home? ('coz he got ready, asked his fav dish for lunch and snacks too. No problem till reaching school gate)
He replied that 'Ma'm is teaching the same thing for whole day. Am not able to play. Feeling bored'...all these he will tell with a loud cry.
His class teacher is a new one to the school. So I thought because of the new face he is uncomfortable. I consoled him saying that every year new teacher only would come. So need not panic.
He didn't listen. (During holidays he had his arm fractured. and we removed bandage a day before school start. so I asked permission to carry his bag till class room for one month as per doctor's advice)
He was trying to run away from the class and Principal mam came for rescue.
For 5 mins she asked me to sit with him in the class. I did. but when I was about to leave , he again started the tantrums. I couldn't control him, neither the teachers.

This crying and tantrums is still continuing. (today too)
His Principal called us and talked with us having her class teacher along with. Class teacher told that only for first hour, he will cry or not listens to anyone and afterwards he's normal,listens, writes ..everything fine.
Principal mam gave some tips on how to handle kids. All that we have tried already.

He uses abusive words sometimes when he gets angry/arrogant like this.

I am a working mom. I severely got upset with the sudden change in him.
I really need your kind help friends. Please suggest something which am ready to do to make my kid feel happy at school and home.

(PS: I stay with my in-laws. 99% its them who would drop/pick him from school.)

Thanks for the patience in reading this long post.Sorry for typos if any....

Thanks friendlyaqua...yes he is pampered by my in-laws. Also mil is aggressive. Fil is not.but they are here for 5 yrs now and he was fine during KGs
Our house is very near to school. That's y we didn't opt for school bus

 

Really I do spend most of my time with him. Even if I reach home by 8pm, I make a point to spend time with him, till bed time(Like reading/writing, playing, watching his cartoons)
He always says that I am his best friend
He knows that though am not strict, am firm in decisions when it comes to his activities. But still he cries

 

Yes, my in-laws only drop him 99% of the time. As they were out of town, I went on that day.
Yesterday night, I firmly told him that , only if he goes to school and stay there full day, I will talk to him.
He was 'Ok'. Still he cried after my hubby dropped him at school. Poor Hubby, he's also very upset
