She hasn't, believe me. The mother is part of the problem.

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.
This is a very common occurrence. At the same time, however, we have children who are put into special ed programs when they really don't belong in them -just because the money is available. I wouldn't want to be a teacher in this day and age. Even the best teachers who understand that children have different learning styles and who want to give these children the extra one-on-one attention they need are frustrated by all they are required to do. They KNOW, perhaps, that a certain child just needs a little extra help, but they don't have the time to give him or her anymore. So what do they do? They recommend that the child be put on ritalin or they recommend the child for special ed. Don't get me wrong. Special ed is very important for those who need it, but too many kids are being put into these programs because the teachers don't have the time to give them a little extra attention.
