After sketching briefly  the  formalism for neutrino-nucleus reactions,the following issues are addressed: 1) The consequences of number non-conservation inthe  Quasiparticle Random Phase Approximation (QRPA) and its inability to reproduce the exclusive weakobservables within the  triad  ${{{^{12}B},{^{12}C},{^{12}N}}}$,2) The  role played by the size of configuration spaces in the  Projected QRPA (PQRPA), and the Relativistic  QRPA (RQRPA),and 3)  The limitations and difficulties of nuclear models in explaining the  recently measured  quasi-elastic  unfolded cross section($ u_mu,^{12}$C) at MiniBooNE  within the energyrange $0.4leq E_{ u_mu}leq 1.2$ GeV.
