"Never Back Down": Unremitting efforts for reading and writing

A single mother encountered a great problem with her daughter’s primary school education. Because her daughter had a slight dyslexia, not only did she fail to receive the sympathy of the teacher, she was also coldly treated by her classmates, and the transfer to another school did not improve. Another mother, who is a teacher, also encountered the same problem. Her son did not receive the care and education he deserves in school, and she was distressed and angry all day long. When two impatient mothers met, in order to change the status quo, they were forced to challenge the traditional education system with their own strength. Although the road is tortuous, the difficulties are numerous, and the resistance is unimaginable, the situation has finally been reversed with the great persistence and promotion of the two people, calling and gathering enough parents and teachers to join him. The team came, and the bureaucratic education system approved their grand plan to open a new school on their own.

Based on real events, the film is directed by Daniel Balz, the director of "Beast Boy", the black woman Viola Davis and the beauty Maggie Gyllenha, voted one of the most influential people by Time Magazine Er Lian starring. Although they both showed themselves as vulnerable groups, they gathered energy bit by bit, and finally burst into an unstoppable light. Ordinary people fought against the bureaucracy and finally won a big victory. The scene was grand enough, the debate was exciting, and the ending was touching.

Even though it was adapted from the truth, I don’t know how much it is exaggerated. Even if Americans always like to exaggerate, are American elementary schools really so mentally retarded that they have lost even the basic ability to teach children literacy and reading? In fact, the requirements of the two mothers are not high. They only hope that their children can become normal children in school. Some people care about being taken care of. It seems that it is as difficult to get this ability in the American elementary school in the film. In the end, the school established under the leadership of the two mothers didn't have much innovation, and it was nothing more than teaching and educating people. I don't really understand the rules of American education. I only heard that the American education system is the most advanced and scientific. It's hard to say that American education is so advanced that it doesn't teach people to read and write.
