#5

After months of fighting with the school district, the IEP was finally approved. The psychologist says his refusal to go to school is due to the long term bullying he has endured, which has caused a lot of anxiety. The school district is paying for a private school for him, he is the only 8th grader, out of the 14 students, in the school. The school district supplies the private school with the books and pays tuition. #5 has to bring his own lunch, but they have a kitchen where he can heat stuff up. He is not saying he loves it, but he does not hate it. Progress is good.
