* JerkassHasAPoint: Principal Wolters is right to say that if with a tightened budget, having English and math teachers takes priority over art and music. However, the fact that Wolters won't even try to fight for additional funding (and the fact that other extracurricular activities such as the football team are preserved) makes him look cynical and dishonest.

* EasilyForgiven: Cole understandably resents his father for neglecting him in favor of his students, and for not even bothering to become proficient enough in sign language to effectively communicate. While Glenn's sign performance of the Music/JohnLennon's ''Beautiful Boy'' was meant as a sincere apology, it seems unlikely that a single gesture like that would completely make up for years of resentment on his son's part in real-life as it does in the film.
