I've heard there were more issues than just bullying. Father lost his job, changing schools, new school didn't get paid or the registration wasn't finalized so the kids were sent home, etc.
Likely a confluence of factors here.
Painfully sad either way. Can't imagine an 11 year old feeling that desperate
When I was younger, my father lost his job to issues that he seemed moral and ethical decisions, my parents and other parents were behind on tuition, they pulled us kids out of class in the middle of the day, we sat like pariahs till our parents picked us up.
Whatever the story is, I can tell you first hand how bitter, miserable and embarrassing it is.
It will also explain my feelings of resentment to the Jewish education system that failed me.
