What is the central idea of the book schooled?

Answer 1

13-year-old Cap has always lived with his grandmother, Rain. When she is hospitalized, Cap is taken in by a social worker and sent---like a lamb to slaughter---to middle school. Smart and capable, innocent and inexperienced (he learned to drive on the farm, but he has never watched television), long-haired Cap soon becomes the butt of pranks. He reacts in unexpected ways and, in the end, elevates those around him to higher ground

Answer 2

The central idea of the book "Schooled" by Gordon Korman is about a homeschooled boy, Capricorn Anderson, who enters public school for the first time and learns valuable lessons about friendship, acceptance, and staying true to oneself. The story explores themes of social norms, personal growth, and the importance of embracing diversity.
