Weiss' flashback wouldn't necessarily have to take place when she was a child. It could have taken place in her early teens before she went to Beacon.

Hell, they could go two birds with one stone by doing a flashback that simultaneously shows what kind of father he is to her when she's not misbehaving as well as explaining the White Trailer in-show, rather than leaving the explanation exclusively in the manga. They don't even have to include the White Trailer fight.

They could show the conflict between Weiss and Jacques regarding Beacon vs Atlas leading up to that, as well as other things about how Jacques behaved. Then, they show her training. The secretary tries to convince her to go to Atlas instead, and when she keeps insisting on Beacon, he lets the Arma Gigas in, tells her what her father's orders were, and explains how the Arma Gigas is 3 times stronger than the original version of that armor. Weiss says her "So you're basically saying I don't stand a chance" line and then rushes in to fight. Find a good way to cut to later with Weiss wearing a bloodied bandage over her scarred eye and Jacques begrudgingly agreeing to let her go to Beacon because a deal's a deal.
