I hate break the news to you , but just because he doesn't have his friends in his class with him does not mean he is suffering emotionally . That's not a reasonable answer because he is there to learn not socialize.  I know what you're thinking .. These are most social times in their young lives. Yes that's true but there is more legit reasons to transfer, classes such as  teacher mistreats student, kids mistreat student (horribly), student does not comprehend teachers style of teaching, student is afraid of other student(s) in class, class is too advanced, adding another class to schedule that is only available at a certain time.  

Consider this , I mean this from a parents view and someone who is very involved with special education and all its laws. I mean no disrespect at all. 

 This day and age , our kids are not being educated as well as they should be. Parents’ dont spend the time outside of school hours to help with and check homework. Partially because they dont understand it. and partially because they dont want to be bothered. The amount of time spent learning each subject is 50 minutes a day. That leaves a teacher with very little time to get a class of 25-30 student to understand what the lesson is. Having kids talk, interrupt, misbehave, or be distracting cuts that time down to about 40 minutes to learn. Having friends in class with them (if you remember ) is a distraction and at that age its hard to pay attention anyways  especially when you can think of 100 things to tell them that cant wait till break. They are kids and thats what kids do. 

 Class is for learning break is for socializing.  The important thing to remember is he is there to learn so that he can function in society without embarrassment. Do him a favor and push education over socializing during class.

Do what I did: Threatened to move so he’d be in the circle……...

Confusing. Are they in different classes in the same school?
