** Given the curse alters memories and perceptions, it's possible they tried this but the living students from 1972 disbelieve the present students are in any danger, and don't see why they should return. That, and the logistics of it may be too complicated if many have left town, or more likely, several have died to the curse thanks to the two-degree effect targeting relatives, making such an exorcism impossible.

*** Likely wouldn't work unless there were literally only 2 classes for that grade. Per the show, "disappearing" Class 3-3 by renaming didn't work, and Class 3-4 would be the new 3-3, as it is ''numerically'' the third even if nominally it is called something else. Reducing things to 2 classes would also likely only work if they were bloated to 50% more students a piece, which is probably not allowed since it'd require remodeling two extra-large classrooms, which the school district may scoff at for a number of reasons (funds, student to teacher ratio, etc). Doing something like moving every student out of town would do nothing to protect their family members in town, who would then bear the brunt of the curse in their absence. Keeping everyone connected with class 3-3 safe would probably require significantly depopulating the town every year. (And even that might not work, as seen with the student who died out of town due to an injury suffered while inside of town).

It's entirely possible his memory was fine thanks to being in India, but the "connection" with Koichi and from the phone call triggered an on-the-fly bout of selective amnesia and memory rewriting from the curse.

** It's one thing to understand you're supposed to keep your head down and not stand out as much as possible as a general idea of your society of birth. It's quite another to try and understand why your fellows are flat out ignoring the existence of someone who clearly does exist. And since Reiko believes herself to be part of the class and thus cannot say anything about the girl, even at home, it's really the best she can do to explain the situation. Just tell him "hey, whatever you see going on at school, even if it seems weird, just go with it as long as you see everyone else do it".

** It's a Catch-22 for the students. In order to explain whats going on, they would have to explain the curse. And if they explained the curse, they might have to explain how they counteract it. And at that point they come into danger of openly having to acknowledge the existence of the person they are ignoring. Which could put the class in danger of their Talisman failing and beginning the deaths. They put themselves in danger if they do or don't tell him. They were in a panic trying to quickly institute the Talisman and curse prevention that year, and thus might still be a bit frazzled and worried about making any one wrong step to topple the whole supernatural jenga tower. So to them, their safest action is likely to hope for the best and pray the new kid isnt too curious and nosy.
