Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns
I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Please understand that children are like that. Their attention span is limited and when their mood is on playing, it becomes even lesser. Teacher's duty is to make him perfect. As a mother, you have limited time to do that. Child spends more time at school than with you. Also you can try consulting a clinical psychologist for Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). I do not think that he has that problem. But get it clarified.
If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.
Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Low attention in children aged 6 to 10 is normal. This can be attributable to their attention span which is very much limited and is around 2 to 3 minutes. If they are not entertained properly, their attention wanders. Curriculum experts know this and design the method of teaching interesting to the children. Therefore, making the child attentive, is the duty of the teacher.
Secondly, the problem may be really due to ADD. For which you should consult a psychologist to assess your son's condition. There are psychometric tests to know whether your son is ADD. If he has ADD, extreme care should be taken from your side as well as from school side. There are laid down methods to handle a child with ADD. There are lot of websites which teaches you these. Look into them.
