"When two of the central characters graduate from their gated corporate community's high school, the one with a talent for bioengineering is admitted to the prestigious,wealthy Watson-Crick Institute; the one with a talent for words is schlapped off to the dilapidated Martha Graham Academy."
What does exactly "schlepped off to" mean here? Would it be close in meaning to "palmed off" bacause he got in his parent's hear and they just wanted him to go? Or it's such a nice academy and hard to get in?
