3 year old son does not pay attention or answer questions in preschool

My son is very energetic and can play all day but he spends few minutes playing in one toy then goes to another. He does not accept to sit on chair at all and always jumping or wandering around the house.

In preschool, he accepts to sit down but does not pay attention or more precisely does not look at teacher but looks around. He does not answer the teacher questions in front of the class unless she brings him into one to one conversation.

On the other hand, at home he reflects very well what he learns at school, meaning although he is not looking at the teacher but learning very well. To mention that his language is even better compared to his two girl cousins of same age, is not shy at all as he speaks to any one he meets or to family.

At home, I give him a lot of dedication, attention, care, play with him and teach him a lot. His teacher is not able till now to know the reason why he is like this at school and I feel that she needs my help and I do not know what to do, because I see him a very sociable & smart boy while it is not the case in school.

In my opinion, he has no anxiety disorder or hyperactivity problems but what, I do not know.
