in a different case I am trying to convince a 13 year old who has received death threats from other students that returning to her school wouldn't be the worst thing, because the family has already exhausted the alternatives and she has an IEP and can't do home based learning forever and she's not messed up enough from the bullying to argue for a therapeutic placement, and I can't even negotiate a settlement using an OCR complaint as a threat because the bullying is, for once in my short but extremely tiring career, not based on a protected class. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh
