One thing to note is the change of school the student has suffered, as has gone from a concerted to a public school.
In the center where they are schooled, Educational Care is Preferred. Most of the professionals who are working there is because they have expressly solitado and they have had to carry out a specific project to develop there. An important detail is that there is a wide variety of reasons for this, as it is easier to find work in a center of this type than others.
