She hasn't, believe me. The mother is part of the problem.
Just a thought, but an important one. It would appear that the mother of this child is fairly low income and probably not very highly-educated, however, it is also important to remind parents of any income or educational level that there is such a things as over-parenting. That can be just as harmful as under-parenting and neglect.

And that's too bad. It's so easy to blame the school, the officers, etc. etc. rather than determining the root cause of the problem and seeking a possible solution that would be beneficial for the child.
True story: Friends of my father's had a daughter who had a learning disability. She was first sent to Catholic school where the nuns immediately recognized the problem and told the parents about it. Instead of trying to get help for their daughter, the parents pulled their daughter out of Catholic school and sent her to public school. She "graduated" from public school, but in reality, she was just passed from grade to grade without really receiving an education. Had she received some sort of special education, she might have been reasonably productive within the limitations of her disability.
