I don't know how old your son is, but assuming he is in elementary school, it depends on what the complaint is and how comfortable your child is with the teacher. It also depends on the complaint. Is it a valid complaint? Does it truly need to be addressed or is this one of those times when you can prepare your son to deal with similar issues on his own. If it's a valid complaint, I would definitely begin with teaching my child to advocate for himself. Prepare him with the words he needs to communicate his concern adequately and respectfully. Then see if there's improvement. If no improvement, then I would speak with the teacher about it.

In my opinion, kids (and most people for that matter), will hate to do anything that becomes tedious, punitive and/or where no meaningful connection is made.

According to Wikipedia:
The oldest known source and most probable origin for the expression "baker's dozen" dates to the 13th century in one of the earliest English statutes, instituted during the reign of Henry III (1216-1272), called the Assize of Bread and Ale. Bakers who were found to have shortchanged customers could be liable to severe punishment. To guard against the punishment of losing a hand to an axe, a baker would give 13 for the price of 12, to be certain of not being known as a cheat. Specifically, the practice of baking 13 items for an intended dozen was to prevent "short measure", on the basis that one of the 13 could be lost, eaten, burnt, or ruined in some way, leaving the baker with the original legal dozen. The practice can be seen in the guild codes of the Worshipful Company of Bakers in London. -
