Honestly the child belonged in special ed (resource)

I work as an instructional aide for special education. I have worked with mild to severe students of all ages prek to grade 12 for the last 7 years now. Finally I'm getting my application together to get into the credential program to be a special ed resource teacher (mild to moderate disabilities). I honestly think the girl needed to be in special ed---resource. She had a mild learning disability that strongly affected her learning and how she processed. Maybe the funds weren't available but I disliked how the mom (Maggie Gyllenhaal) tried to pin it on the school system failing her when obviously she had an innate learning disabilty (dyslexia). She wasn't being given the individual attention she needed that special ed can provide and the work was not modified for her. To top it off, she was in a class full of ill-behaved children and the teacher was horrible needless to say who should've been fired. However, I don't think the teacher was the sole character standing in the way of her learning. I think her mom also was. Instead of fighting for her to have a better education and be at a better school, she should've been fighting for her to be in a smaller class and special ed resource. But then if she had done that the movie wouldn't have been the same.
