Why does Via think August should return to school?

• August has learned a lot, and he's made a lot of new friends.

• She doesn't think that the things that Julian and Jack said about him are a big deal.

• Just so he could tell Mr. Tushman about the mean things that Julian, Jack and the other boys said. They would probably get in a lot of trouble.
