My son hates one of his teachers

My son is having issues w/one of the teachers at his school saying he hates her and it is affecting his behaviors. I don't encourage this behavior and they have consequences for it at school. He says she threw away some of his paperwork. My son is 6/has SPD, do you think this is something more. The teacher said he might have oppositional defiant disorder, but I talked to his pediatrician about it and he said with that, he would have issues with a lot more people and it would not just be w/that one person. It would be with most people. He said you cannot turn off a disorder. What do you think.

He keeps saying I hate so and so and I keep saying please don't say that it's not nice and what can we do to make it better. You are wasting a lot of energy on that.

Is this a developmental stage or what? I'm just worried!
