Quotation
"I was wondering where the ducks went when the lagoon got all icy and frozen over. I wondered if some guys came in a truck and took then away to a zoo or something. Or if they just flew away." pg.13. In this passage, Holden relates the ducks to himself. He proposes the question in which whether it is the school kicking him out, or if it is simply his own faults. Did Holden not make the effort on purpose or did the school no longer want him?

I think that he is saying that he feels as if the school no longer wants him because he is failing class. Since he has been to many different other schools I think he feels as though the school no longer wants him.
I think that he wasn't applying himself on purpose. Holden knew that he wasn't doing well in school and he also did not like it there. I believe him to have just wanted to fail out after awhile. The school was more trouble than it was worth.
I think it was a mixture of both. As holden did not put in any effort to stay in the school the school did not want him.
I think Holden feels that the school no longer wants him, because he isn't a very good student, he is failing maybe on purpose. Also he has been to so many schools that he probably feels like schools don't want him.
