What is the conflict of schooled by gordon korman?

There's a dude named Capricorn Anderson who lives with his Grandma Rain on a hippie commune. Suddenly, Rain gets badly injured and Capricorn is sent to live outside of his commune in the normal society with a social worker and her sixteen year old daughter. Capricorn has a difficult time fitting in at school because he isn't familiar with electricity, he doesn't believe in lockers, he is always peaceful and meditating, and he wears tie dyed clothes like a typical hippie. It's as if a boy from the 1960's has suddenly been dropped in this day and age. The conflict is that Capricorn is so different from the environment around him, and he is constantly being teased, making it very hard for him to fit in. 

Hope this helps!
