ACADEMICS FAILURE- Teachers entire fault?

SOURCE: GOOGLE

this is definitely a good day and would be a good night too *TGIF*,  I am blogging as early as possible today so that i can conquer any form of laziness that might take over later in the day. Procrastination is a deadly disease... i noticed the robot situation that might likely come up when you want to drop your comments and i would like you all to be patient about it as it is happening because it is a new active blog, trust me the robot verification style is an interesting one and not the normal boring numbers that you might have to type... please bear with the blog**********************************************************************
i remember a friend of mine while growing up was punished by her mum to kneel down and raise up her hands and face the wall at their home in surulere, when i asked her what she did wrong, she said it is because she came 3rd position in class
when she normally comes either 1st or 2nd position. you can now imagine what her sister who comes 15th position out of 17 students in class will face. This didn't happen in only my friends house, it happened in so many homes back then, i also remember how our parents will threaten to report us to our teacher if we behave badly at home (that is if your mum wasn't a teacher). i remember how we struggled back then to be the brightest students by actively participating in class and the ones who weren't interested in listening ended up coming behind, i remember how some of our parents assist the not so intelligent child with a lesson teacher at home to help in improving the child, personally my mum made us repeat a class in primary school by changing schools for us because she felt we were moving too fast at a tender age and she wanted to make sure we were at least 11 years old before going into secondary schools. *good old days*, these days i think it has turned around and it is no more what it use to be, the one that bothers me the most is the parents that goes along with the child to their school if she didn't do well to harass the teacher, like these parents go to the school to find out why their child has not done well, not only are they suppose to make it an understanding conversation, they actually make it a right for an explanation to know why their child came least in class. I don't think the teacher is exactly at fault though especially if they have other children coming first in class and bagging awards. I have personally witnessed a parent that abused a teacher and questioned her job because her child didn't do well in class, I wanted to ask the mum how academically sound is her husband and herself?(because sometimes i think it is hereditary) and maybe she should face her child closely and encourage the child with more helps in academics rather than insulting a teacher that has produced good grade children in the same class your child is. Maybe back then, the fees were more affordable and hence the parents were grateful to the teachers for teaching their kids at least for such small salary but these days it should be the teachers being grateful for allowing their kids to be sent to school and be thought by them at such an outrageous fee. maybe that is why parents completely blames the teachers of their kids for allowing their kids not to score high in class. it is just a thought. A friend of mine and a mother of two was very unhappy with her child's school when she found out that another child at her friend in another school could read numbers and her child couldn't, the teacher had to tell her child was not a fast learner hence she and some others were kept in a special class where they could be thought differently and with more patience. the mum still blamed the teacher for not being teacher-enough to increase the brain capacity and speed up learning. lol. i think the teacher, students and parents should take responsibility for a child's failure because psychologically there are so many other factors that can cause a child to not excel academically.
so what do you think? do you think the entire blame should be on the teacher for a child's academic failure? do you think a child who knows how to play games on their mum's ipad is smart enough to solve an mathematics problem? do you think having access to internet (Google) for all answers will help a child in the examination hall? what are parents and upcoming parents expected to do to help out their kids in excelling academically? do you have an experience of a parent blaming the teacher and school for the academics failure of their child or are you one of them? what do you parents do nowadays when your kids come back from school with a bad result?
