Guitar players, please enlighten me!

I hope that there are some guitar players here?
Well the story is simple; my 9 year old son wants to learn the guitar (classic).

His music teacher at school said that inexpensive guitars are harder to tune, harder to play and the students tend to lose interest because their success is hampered. Is this true?

What does a cheap guitar consist of?
What's a good price to start with?

Do you guys have a model in mind, I made some surfing before I hit the shops, and I think the Ibanez GA5W would be good for him, what do you guys think?

Any help would be appreciative, thanks in advance!

Dam! Couldn't he have chosen to play drums instead,

at least there I would have had something to say, I played for several years.
